Conversation
As previously discussed with @ncoghlan and approved for 3.15b2 by @hugovk, this exposes the batch processing APIs for addsitedir() and friends. We remove the `defer_processing_start_files` flag which required some implicit module global state, and promote StartupState to the public documented API. This removes the need for module global implicit state and allows callers to control when accumulated .start and .pth file state is processed if they want. This also fixes the interleaving regression identified by @ncoghlan in the same issue. Now, .pth file sys.path extensions are added to sys.path after the sitedir that the .pth file is found in, restoring the legacy behavior. Along the way, I've made a lot of improvements to function docstrings, site.rst documentation, and comments in the code explaining what's going on.
