importing: make importlib_importer recognize .pyc cache (#13239)

Our importer was always parsing from source (which is considerably
slower) because the source size recorded in the .pyc file differed from
the size of the input file.

Override path_stats in the prepending importer to fool it into thinking
that the source size is the size *with* the prepended code.
