Issue #25099: Skip relevant tests in test_compileall when an entry on
sys.path has an unwritable __pycache__ directory. This typically comes up when someone runs the test suite from an administrative install of Python on Windows where the user does not have write permissions to the stdlib's directory. Thanks to Zachary Ware and Matthias Klose for reporting bugs related to this issue. (grafted from 34bbd537b3e688dfbb6498e9083445a6a72fc4b1)
