[issue7757] sys.path is incorrect when prefix is ""

[Sunny K]

Sunny K added the comment:

I took a shot at this. Build is successful and imports happen. Tests are ok except test_sysconfig, and that is because of sys.prefix being set to '/'. I've raised issue19340 for that.

About the patch, i'm not sure how to completely test for false positives(joinpath now returns <SEP><suffix> if <prefix> is null). I could not think of any issues from the current calls to joinpath.
