bpo-35755: shutil.which() uses os.confstr("CS_PATH") (GH-12858)

shutil.which() and distutils.spawn.find_executable() now use
os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available instead of os.defpath, if the PATH
environment variable is not set.

Don't use os.confstr("CS_PATH") nor os.defpath if the PATH
environment variable is set to an empty string to mimick Unix 'which'
command behavior.

Changes:

* find_executable() now starts by checking for the executable in the
  current working directly case. Add an explicit
  "if not path: return None".
* Add tests for PATH='' (empty string), PATH=':' and for PATHEXT.
