[issue14067] Avoid more stat() calls in importlib

[Jim Jewett]

Jim Jewett <jimjjewett at gmail.com> added the comment:

As long as the interpreter knows about about files that *it* wrote, no repeat checks during startup seems utterly reasonable; sneaking in a new or changed file is inherently a race condition.

I think it would also be reasonable for general use, so long as there was also a way to say "for this particular directory, always check".
