Bug report

Bug description:

Under lazy_imports=all, modules imported in a try/except block are still imported eagerly. However, imports that occur within that module are still imported lazily.

This may be intentional, but this bug is the result of that behaviour.

On CPython built without bz2 support:

$ PYTHON_LAZY_IMPORTS=normal ./python -c "import shutil; print(shutil._BZ2_SUPPORTED)"
False
$ PYTHON_LAZY_IMPORTS=all ./python -c "import shutil; print(shutil._BZ2_SUPPORTED)"
True

The try/except check is on bz2, which succeeds because the import to _bz2 which would fail is converted to a lazy import and is not used at top level so the import which would fail isn't triggered.

shutil could directly check _bz2 in this particular case, but I expect this pattern isn't uncommon. I looked into this after I ran into a similar issue with pip and rich with an OS-specific import that should have failed in a similar manner.

Related: #149640 as this also causes test_shutil to fail under lazy_imports=all if _bz2 isn't present.
