bug#52269: [PATCH] sitecustomize.py: Honor .pth files.

[Lars-Dominik Braun]

Hi Maxim,

are you sure about using `exit()` here? sitecustomize.py is imported
during startup and this would simply quit the Python interpreter if
GUIX_PYTHONPATH is not set, wouldn’t it? (Can’t test the change
unfortunately, because it’s a massive rebuild.)

This is unrelated to the pdb issue, right? I see that it’s necessary
right now, but as suggested in #46848 I’d prefer unbundling
setuptools/pip from python. (I’ll send a v3 of the patchset at some
point.)

Cheers,
Lars
