`distutils`-specific pre-find module path hook.

When run from within a virtual environment, this hook changes the `__path__` of the `distutils` package to
that of the system-wide rather than virtual-environment-specific `distutils` package. While the former is suitable for
freezing, the latter is intended for use _only_ from within virtual environments.

NOTE: this behavior seems to be specific to virtual environments created by (an old?) version of `virtualenv`; it is not
applicable to virtual environments created by the `venv`.
