[issue25303] py_compile disregards PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE and -B

[Pavel Roskin]

New submission from Pavel Roskin:

$ echo "'''Simple script'''" >simple-script
$ PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 -B -m py_compile simple-script
$ ls __pycache__
simple-scriptcpython-35.pyc

py_compile should recognize when the user doesn't want the bytecode to be produced. Otherwise, it's not usable in makefiles for a quick code check.
