    Use importlib to check for elasticsearch instead of import statement

    The import elasticsearch statement in elasticsearch.py was
    succeeding if the module was not installed because it would find
    ./elasticsearch.py (itself) and import that instead. We now use
    import_module to do the dependency check, which checks for
    system-level modules and not local ones.

    With this patch applied, I cannot enable elasticsearch when it is not
    installed.

    1. Where does ./elasticsearch.py come from?

      1. I assume it's reviewboard/search/search_backends/elasticsearch.py. We could also use from __future__ import absolute_import (perhaps we want to add that to our standard header?).

      2. You are correct. The file was importing itself
