[issue23723] Provide a way to disable bytecode staleness checks

What Greg said. =) Basically it would allow those who know what they are doing to cut out a stat call per load. I suspect anyone deploying to a server is in a similar situation where they are not actively editing the code once deployed, and so saving on the startup of a new process (probably most beneficial in a CI situation).

I might also simply refactor the importlib loader code to make this at least possible for someone to implement without doing the work for them.
