Bug report

Bug description:

Having too long entries in sys.path or PYTHONPATH in Windows will cause different errors in imports. This was first reported on #122170, where there is some useful discussion.

Start with the long-path reproductions in the issue and inspect the frozen getpath and importlib._bootstrap_external traceback locations on Windows. Review issue #122170 and linked PR gh-122389 for existing direction. Done means long PYTHONPATH and sys.path entries no longer produce the reported startup or import errors.
