Explain is_package AttributeError in find_package

When a PEP 302 import hook is used that doesn't implement .is_package()
an AttributeError is raised. This looks like a bug in Flask. This change
fixes that problem in the sense that it explains, that the
AttributeError is intentional.

(bugfix release, release date to be announced)
- Fixed broken `test_appcontext_signals()` test case.
- Raise an :exc:`AttributeError` in :func:`flask.helpers.find_package` with a
useful message explaining why it is raised when a PEP 302 import hook is used
without an `is_package()` method.
