Some tests that check .pyc files creation are failing when sys.pycache_prefix is set.

List of tests that failed on Arm64 MacOS (maybe there's more in skipped ones):

• test.test_import.PycacheTests.test_import_pyc_path
• test.test_import.PycacheTests.test_unwritable_directory
• test.test_importlib.test_util.PEP3147Tests.test_cache_from_source
