Following the suggestion fromthis comment in the original issue this PR adds a new function_Py_normpathAndSize which behaves like_Py_normpath but also takes a pointer which it will use to store the length of the final normalized path. This new function is then used inos__path_normpath_impl to pass the above mentioned length intoPyUnicode_FromWideChar instead of -1.

Additionally, this adds a test to check that normpath is not truncating paths containing a null character as well as changestest_addpackage_import_bad_pth_file intest_site.py which was using a null character to make a bad path, specifically it was using the string'abc\x00def'. The problem is that before this change this was being truncated for parts of the test so the string it was actually using in those parts was'abc'. Upon making the normpath changes it started throwing the errorValueError: embedded null character so I changed the test to use'abc<>$$**:://def' instead.
