Fix crash on mypy imports when using --extension-pkg-allow-list=mypy

[Copilot]

This PR fixes a crash that occurs when using --extension-pkg-allow-list=mypy with imports of mypy modules. The issue was caused by mypyc-compiled objects not having __dict__ attributes, which caused an AttributeError during astroid's module inspection process.

Problem

When running:

pylint --extension-pkg-allow-list=mypy example.py

With example.py containing:

import mypy.build

Pylint would crash with:

AttributeError: 'ModuleNotFound' object has no attribute '__dict__'

This occurred because:

1. mypyc compiles Python to C and may not provide __dict__ on all objects
2. astroid tries to access member().__dict__ during module inspection in raw_building.py
3. The AttributeError propagated up and was re-raised as an AstroidError, causing a crash

Solution

Added specific handling for AttributeError related to missing __dict__ attributes in the _get_imported_module method:

• When an AttributeError occurs that mentions __dict__, treat it like an AstroidBuildingError
• Generate an import-error message instead of crashing
• Other AttributeError instances are still re-raised to maintain existing behavior

The fix is minimal and surgical - it only handles the specific case of missing __dict__ attributes while preserving all other error handling behavior.

Testing

Added a functional test import_mypy_extension.py that:

• Reproduces the crash scenario with --extension-pkg-allow-list=mypy
• Verifies that an import-error message is generated instead of crashing
• Includes comprehensive documentation of the issue and fix

Fixes #10223.
