bpo-34022: Stop forcing of hash-based invalidation with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (GH-9607)

Unconditional forcing of ``CHECKED_HASH`` invalidation was introduced in
3.7.0 in bpo-29708.  The change is bad, as it unconditionally overrides
*invalidation_mode*, even if it was passed as an explicit argument to
``py_compile.compile()`` or ``compileall``.  An environment variable
should *never* override an explicit argument to a library function.
That change leads to multiple test failures if the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
environment variable is set.

This changes ``py_compile.compile()`` to only look at
``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` if no explicit *invalidation_mode* was specified.
I also made various relevant tests run with explicit control over the
value of ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``.

While looking at this, I noticed that ``zipimport`` does not work
with hash-based .pycs _at all_, though I left the fixes for
subsequent commits.
