Issue #13959: Simplify imp.reload() by relying on a module's
__loader__. Since import now sets __loader__ on all modules it creates and imp.reload() already relied on the attribute for modules that import didn't create, the only potential compatibility issue is if people were deleting the attribute on modules and expecting imp.reload() to continue to work.
