Close #7559: ImportError when loading a test now shown as ImportError.
Previously the ImportError was only shown if the top level containing
package failed to import, with other ImportErrors showing up as
AttributeError - hiding the real cause. As part of this,
`TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames` now captures errors to self.errors.
