fix: make extra_name of try_import optional and the install hint reusable - #2247
Merged

…reusable `extra_name` was introduced in #2208 as a required keyword-only argument. All call sites inside this package were updated in the same PR, so requiring it gained nothing internally, but it silently broke every external caller of the helper in what shipped as a patch release (1.10.1). The Apify SDK guards its Scrapy integration with this helper, so `import apify.scrapy` now fails on any fresh install: TypeError: try_import() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'extra_name' Giving `extra_name` a default restores that compatibility; every call site in this package passes it explicitly, so the messages users see are unchanged. While here: - Add a `package_name` argument, defaulting to this package. The install hint had the distribution name hardcoded, so a downstream package reusing the helper would point its users at `crawlee[<extra>]` for an extra that only exists in their own distribution. - Read the original message with `str(e)` instead of `e.args[0]`, which raised `IndexError` on an `ImportError` carrying no arguments — a case the docstring explicitly anticipates for nested guards. - Normalize `extra_name` to a list in `_get_install_hint` so an empty collection cannot raise `IndexError` either.
