assert_raises should accept a string as a callableObj

[jpellerin]

The current implementation is:

assert_raises(excClass, callableObj, _args, *_kwargs)

I recently moved a whole swag of test code over from py.test which allows callableObj to be a string that is simply exec()'ed. I think that allowing this would allow greater interoperability with py.test, and it seems slightly more intuitive to me.
