Fix compileall.compile_dir() ddir= behavior on sub-packages.
Fixes compileall.compile_dir's ddir parameter and compileall command
line flag `-d` to no longer write the wrong pathname to the generated
pyc file for submodules beneath the root of the directory tree being
compiled. This fixes a regression introduced with Python 3.5.
Also marks the _new_ in 3.9 from PR #16012 parameters to compile_dir as keyword only (as that is the only way they will be used) and fixes an omission of them in one place from the docs.
In some development setups it is inconvenient or impossible to write bytecode
caches to the code tree, but the bytecode caches are still useful. The
PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX environment variable allows specifying an alternate
location for cached bytecode files, within which a directory tree mirroring the code
tree will be created. This cache tree is then used (for both reading and writing)
instead of the local `__pycache__` subdirectory within each source directory.
Exposed at runtime as sys.pycache_prefix (defaulting to None), and can
be set from the CLI as "-X pycache_prefix=path".
