plugin load failure could be more descriptive

From Martin:

I would just add that it would be nice if the error said something like

  Unable to load plugin %r from %s:
  The name contains the character '%s' which is not allowed in
  Python module names.

This has also been reported by a user trying to use bzr-svn.

The other thing we could do is give a possible renaming. Something like:

  Unable to load plugin %r from %s:
  The name contains the character '%s' which is not allowed in
  Python module names.
  Consider renaming the module with:
  'mv ~/.bazaar/plugins/%s ~/.bazaar/plugins/%s'

where the second one uses '_' for all the "bad" characters.

Then again, that might be a bit of overkill.
