[issue36085] Enable better DLL resolution

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

So symlinking didn't work (Python is too clever for that these days ;) ), but straight copying the exe and required DLLs is fine.

It puts python.exe, python38.dll and vcruntime140.dll (properly discovered of course) into a temp directory, puts _sqlite3.pyd into a subdirectory and only allows imports from that directory and the pure stdlib (for encodings). Then we test with add_dll_directory(), then copy sqlite3.dll in and test again without.

Assuming tests all pass, I consider this complete now.
