bpo-31532: Fix memory corruption due to allocator mix (#3679)
Fix a memory corruption in getpath.c due to mixed memory allocators between Py_GetPath() and Py_SetPath(). The fix use the Raw allocator to mimic the windows version. This patch should be used from python3.6 to the current version for more details, see the bug report and https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2812
