[issue1116520] Prefix search is filesystem-centric

[Nick Coghlan]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the bootstrap mechanism needs to be able to get hold of os.py directly so it can be injected into the importlib._bootstrap namespace.

However, it may be worth figuring out and documenting the bare minimum that has to exist on the filesystem in order for importlib to get going.

It's even possible that Brett freezes enough into the interpreter binary that the required set has shrunk to zero.
