Description
When creating a pyz file with dependencies "requests pip_system_certs", the file "pip_system_certs.pth" extracted in the ~/.shiv/pyzfolder/site-packages is not handled (tested by running `import requests; requests.get("https://some.website.needing.system.certificate.store")` which triggers a `'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)'` error)
Would it be possible to make the ~/.shiv/pyzfolder/site-packages folder be considered as one of the directory with .pth that are handled ?
Or automatically run the following code (will handle the .pth files in the folder) during the bootstrap ?
```python
import site
site.addsitedir("~/.shiv/pyzfolder/site-packages")
site.main()
```

Research direction
Start at shiv's bootstrap path and reproduce a pyz built with the requests and pip_system_certs dependencies. Verify how ~/.shiv/pyzfolder/site-packages is handled and whether pip_system_certs.pth is processed; done means the packaged HTTPS request succeeds without the certificate verification error.
