hg: don't attempt to extend `sys.path` with the user site without `APPDATA`

This variable is created by the system and *should* be available, but
test-lfs-bundle.t has a test where it is explicitly unset.  It wasn't caught
before because prior to 95af358fcdfe, it was limited to the py2exe binary.  As a
precaution, fix both that and the pyoxidizer case that was causing the test to
fail.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
