On POSIX systems, excluding macOS framework installs, the lib directory
for the free-threaded build now includes a "t" suffix to avoid conflicts
with a co-located default build installation.
Before python3.11, when in a venv the zip path is calculated
from prefix on POSIX platforms. In python3.11 the behavior is
accidentally changed to calculating from default prefix. This
change will break venv created from a non-installed python
with a stdlib zip file. This commit restores the behavior back
to before python3.11.
Check to see if `base_executable` exists. If it does not, attempt
to use known alternative names of the python binary to find an
executable in the path specified by `home`.
If no alternative is found, previous behavior is preserved.

The side effect of this bug was that venv environments directly
used the main interpreter instead of the intermediate stub executable,
which can cause problems when a script uses system APIs that
require the use of an application bundle.
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
