    Provide stacktrace when test encounter a syntax error
    
    Sebastian spotted that we swallow exceptions when loadTestsFromName() fails,
    often due to syntax errors and the like. Revising his improvements around
    this...
    
    * We added a traceback import but didn't actually use it.
    
    * PEP8 nitpick about import order. Imports are grouped by type (standard libs
      then stem imports), and within that alphabetical.
    
    * This added extra output for when the user gives '--test' for something that
      doesn't exist. We probably already have good enough output around this.
    
    * Calling exceptions 'exc' rather than 'e'. Nitpick of mine, but single letter
      variables are ungrepable so I only use them for a few specific things like
      list comprehension.
    
    * Inverted order in which we print so we still show 'failed' in the column,
      then are followed by the stacktrace.
    
    Errors previously looked like...
    
      version...                                          invalid syntax (version.py, line 30)
    
     failed
    
    ... and now look like...
    
      version...                                           failed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./run_tests.py", line 342, in _run_test
        suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromName(test_class)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/unittest/loader.py", line 91, in loadTestsFromName
        module = __import__('.'.join(parts_copy))
      File "/home/atagar/Desktop/stem/test/unit/version.py", line 30
        blargy blarg, some invalid python stuff... I hope
                   ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
