[issue35173] Re-use already existing functionality to allow Python 2.7.x (both embedded and standalone) to locate the module path according to the shared library

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

Modules/getpath.c and PC/getpathp.c have been deeply reworked with the implementation of the PEP 587 in Python 3.8. Parameters which are already set (ex: Py_SetProgramName() or using the new PyConfig API) are no longer overriden. I added some tests on the "path configuration".

The most reliable way to configure the path configuration is now to use the new initialization API using PyConfig.
