u-u: import "email" package late to workaround (LP: 2080940)

This commit works around an issue when python itself is upgraded
by u-u and the content of email.message now needs a newer email.errors
but u-u already (implicitely) loaded that module so there is a
old version in sys.modules. So instead import email as late as
possible.

See python/cpython#124170 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.8/+bug/2080940
for details.

Thanks to Julian Klode for his excellent analysis.
