Make sure importlib.reload() (and by extension imp.reload()) mention that __loader__ must be defined as well as __name__.

New changeset f575f6298eb1 by Brett Cannon in branch '3.3':
Issue bpo-19392: Document that imp.reload() now relies on __loader__
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/f575f6298eb1

[brettcannon]

importlib.reload() already states that the loader is reused, so this only required imp.reload() to be updated.
