Use PEP 654 ExceptionGroup for autosummary import errors

[flying-sheep]

Purpose

Since the MRPV is 3.11, we can just use the BaseExceptionGroup class as base class for the ImportExceptionGroup, which will result in much more context being included in the traceback.

This allows people to more easily debug why autosummary fails when it does.

All done! I’m excited, this was one of my first big usability issues with Sphinx, and soon it’ll be gone forever!
