Add import_function method to test.test_support, and modify a number of

tests that expect to be skipped if imports fail or functions don't
exist to use import_function and import_module.  The ultimate goal is
to change regrtest to not skip automatically on ImportError.  Checking
in now to make sure the buldbots don't show any errors on platforms
I can't direct test on.
