[issue34444] Module's __file__ should be absolute always ("." in sys.path)

This could be done when inserting something into `sys.path` maybe then only?
But might only make sense when there is some special handling in that case already though - and would change existing behavior of course.
(Therefore I am OK with rejecting this, but wanted to mention it anyway)

> Your best option is to insert an absolute path to begin with.

That's a good enough option to have anyway, of course.
