[issue23723] Provide a way to disable bytecode staleness checks

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

I realized that importlib.abc.SourceLoader.path_stats() provides a way to override stat collection and basically hard-code the stat number for all files from an import perspective. So if people simply generated their bytecode with a static timestamp and overrode this method then they would get the effect they want.
