module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
If MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS is enabled (default=n), the requirement for modules to import all namespaces that are used by the module is relaxed. Enabling this option effectively allows (invalid) modules to be loaded while only a warning is emitted. Disabling this option keeps the enforcement at module loading time and loading is denied if the module's imports are not satisfactory.
