Implement modules as singletons Python semantics.

In Python, importing module several times returns same underlying module
object. This also fixes import statement handling for builtin modules.

There're still issues:
1. CPython exposes set of loaded modules as sys.modules, we may want to
do that either.
2. Builtin modules are implicitly imported, which is not really correct.
We should separate registering a (builtin) module and importing a module.
CPython keeps builtin module names in sys.builtin_module_names .
