REVISION SUMMARY
  For most uses, this change is essentially a no-op, as this script is generally
  only run by test-check-py3-compat.t, which will already put `$TESTDIR/..` in
  `$PYTHONPATH`.
  
  When running outside of tests, however, `$PYTHONPATH` is likely not set, 
causing
  check-py3-compat.py to parse the file from the repo, but then import the
  installed version, and raise any errors about the installed version, not the 
one
  currently in the repo.
  
  Additionally, this helps users (like me) who have a strange set up where their
  home directory (and thus their hg repos) happen to be in a subdirectory of
  sys.prefix (which is /usr on my system). Since the '.' entry added to sys.path
  takes precedence over the absolute path of `$TESTDIR/..` in `$PYTHONPATH`, the
  path to the modules that it imports (and that show up in any stack trace) are
  *relative*, meaning that we don't detect them as starting with `sys.prefix`.
  
  Sample non-test invocation, and the difference this change makes (the path for
  'error at <path>:<line>' is correct now)::
  
  Before:
  
    $ python3 contrib/check-py3-compat.py mercurial/win*.py
    mercurial/win32.py: error importing: <ValueError> _type_ 'v' not supported 
(error at check-py3-compat.py:65)
    mercurial/windows.py: error importing: <ModuleNotFoundError> No module 
named 'msvcrt' (error at check-py3-compat.py:65)
  
  After:
  
    $ python3 contrib/check-py3-compat.py mercurial/win*.py
    mercurial/win32.py: error importing: <ValueError> _type_ 'v' not supported 
(error at win32.py:11)
    mercurial/windows.py: error importing: <ModuleNotFoundError> No module 
named 'msvcrt' (error at windows.py:12)
