Forgot to raise ModuleNotFoundError when None is found in sys.modules.
This led to introducing the C function PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass()
to make setting ModuleNotFoundError easier.
Also updated the reference docs to mention ModuleNotFoundError
appropriately. Updated the docs for ModuleNotFoundError to mention the
None in sys.modules case.
Lastly, it was noticed that PyErr_SetImportError() was not setting an
exception when returning None in one case. That issue is now fixed.

described in the sections below.
This name will be used in various phases of the import search, and it may be
the dotted path to a submodule, e.g. ``foo.bar.baz``. In this case, Python
first tries to import ``foo``, then ``foo.bar``, and finally ``foo.bar.baz``.
