[issue40108] Improve error message for -m option when .py is present

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger :

I think we can do better than the following:

$ python3.8 -m unicode_math_symbols.py
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8: Error while 
finding module specification for 'unicode_math_symbols.py' 
(ModuleNotFoundError: __path__ attribute not found on 'unicode_math_symbols' 
while trying to find 'unicode_math_symbols.py')

It is a reasonably common mistake to add .py to the module name for module 
names loaded by the -m command-line launcher.  The error mess is somewhat 
opaque and not suggestive of what the actual problem is or how to fix it.
