The fix may look a bit obscure, so here's what's going on.
When we see `from . import helper`, we create an `ImportExpr` with level
equal to 1 (corresponding to the number of dots). To resolve such
imports, we compute the name of the enclosing package, as part of
`ImportExpr.qualifiedTopName()`. For this form of import expression, it
is equivalent to `this.getEnclosingModule().getPackageName()`. But
`qualifiedTopName` requires that `valid_module_name` holds for its
result, and this was _not_ the case for namespace packages.
To fix this, we extend `valid_module_name` to include the module names
of _any_ folder, not just regular package (which are the ones where
there's a `__init__.py` in the folder). Note that this doesn't simply
include all folders -- only the ones that result in valid module names
in Python.
