Make received MIB objects resolution more forgiving

Previously, MIB resolution errors were ignored (whenever possible)
for objects we were sending and receiving. This change tightens
outgoing objects MIB compliance (send will fail), but tolerate
non quite compliant objects we receive.

Also, extend the same policy onto `NotificationOriginator`.

 - Rebased MIB importing code onto `importlib` because `imp` is long

+- Received MIB objects resolution made more forgiving to errors, added
+  optional `ignoreErrors` parameter to `ObjectType.resolveWithMib()` to

 - Fixed asyncore main loop to respect non-default timer resolution
 - Fixed `.setTimerResolution()` behaviour of abstract main loop dispatcher
   to update call intervals of the existing periodic dispatcher jobs
