The WIN32 CreateProcess() function does not require an .exe or .com
suffix in order to spawn an executable. Now that we have Cosmo bash
we're no longer so dependent on the cmd.exe prompt.
In site.py, Python uses os.name to decide where the USER_SITE (ie the
folder containing the user's locally installed packages) is located.
With cosmo we have set os.name as "posix" always, so we use a new
os.realname to decide the USER_SITE location.
* get_exports_list should return list
* remove unintentional `CC=clang` in makefile
* avoid importing sysconfig during startup
site.py requires only a couple of functions from sysconfig, but needs to
load the entirety of sysconfig to get those functions. This commit
makes it such that sysconfig is imported only when sys.platform is darwin.
* remove redundant constants from stat module
The constants are only there in case the C implementation (ie the _stat
module) is not available. With Cosmopolitan the _stat module is always
available. The entire Lib/stat.py file can be removed if the Windows-based
constants can be moved into the Modules/_stat.c.
* minimal changes to os.py
python checks os-based assumptions at startup, some of which can be
bypassed since this is Cosmopolitan Python.

We can now link even smaller Python binaries. For example, the hello.com
program in the Python build directory is a compiled linked executable of
hello.py which just prints hello world. Using decentralized sections, we
can make that binary 1.9mb in size (noting that python.com is 6.3 megs!)
This works for nontrivial programs too. For example, say we want an APE
binary that's equivalent to python.com -m http.server. Our makefile now
builds such a binary using the new launcher and it's only 3.2mb in size
since Python sources get turned into ELF objects, which tell our linker
that we need things like native hashing algorithm code.
