Python: Fix ImportError in imp.py under Python 3.14

It seems `_ERR_MSG` was silently removed in Python 3.14, leading to an
`ImportError` when running the extractor.

To fix this, we explicitly set `_ERR_MSG` when the existing import fails
(using `_ERR_MSG_PREFIX` which is available in Python 3.14+, along with
the bits that make up the difference between this and `_ERR_MSG`).
