Description
It looks like this is what disables looking in the user site package. The only reference to this variable is in a test checking that it is 1, so it's evidently on purpose. However, it would be useful to make the user site available for loading Mercurial extensions. The py2 builds already look there, so not having this is a bit of a regression.

Research direction
Locate the test that is the only reference to sys.flags.no_user_site and trace how that flag is set in the PyOxidizer build. Compare the behavior with the py2 builds and verify that the user site is available for loading Mercurial extensions without breaking the existing flag test.
