Normalized exceptions raised by AppConfig.create.

It raises ImportError whenever an entry in INSTALLED_APPS points
(directly or indirectly via AppConfig.name) to a non-existing module
and ImproperlyConfigured in all other cases.

Catching ImportError and re-raising ImproperlyConfigured tends to make
circular imports more difficult to diagnose.
