Issues #15169, #14599: Make PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames() use
Lib/imp.py for imp.source_from_cache() instead of its own C version.
Also change PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject() to not infer the source
path from the bytecode path like
PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames() does. This makes the function
less magical.
This also has the side-effect of removing all uses of MAXPATHLEN in
Python/import.c which can cause failures on really long filenames.
