Issue #18810: Be optimistic with stat calls when seeing if a directory
exists when checking for a package.
Before there was an isdir check and then various isfile checks for
possible __init__ files when looking for a package.
This change drops the isdir check by leaning
on the assumption that a directory will not contain something named
after the module being imported which is not a directory. If the module
is a package then it saves a stat call. If there is nothing in the
directory with the potential package name it also saves a stat call.
Only if there is something in the directory named the same thing as
the potential package will the number of stat calls increase
(due to more wasteful __init__ checks).
Semantically there is no change as the isdir check moved
down so that namespace packages continue to have no chance of
accidentally collecting non-existent directories.
