venv with Windows Store base does not have correct sys.path #117786
Description
Bug report
Appears to be new in 3.13.0a6, as I've been using it with a5 and it's only after updating that I noticed.
Basically, the venv's prefix and site-packages directories are not present in sys.path when the base interpreter is from a Store install, and it has the user site. I need to investigate further to figure out exactly why.
Test code:
> python3 -m venv testenv --without-pip
> testenv\Scripts\activate
> python -m site
# expect "$PWD\testenv\Scripts\Lib\site-packages" in list

Oh right, I did the venvlauncher refactoring for this alpha, so the breakage is 100% my fault 😆
Part of that change was to stop smuggling
__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__, but also to stop rewritingargv[0]. Those two should have cancelled each other out, but I guess with the Store packaging it doesn't.pythongh-117786: Fix venv created from Windows Store install by resto…
