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.
