Instead of having our own copies of what we believe paths should be, or manually mutating what sysconfig returns for other variables, we should just delegate all of this to sysconfig in the standard way.
This fixes #49545, fixing Python 3.12.8 support, where sysconfig stopped overly caching certain variables, thus leading to oddities after we've rewritten sys.exec_prefix and sys.prefix.
