Summary: New mandatory 2nd argument to site.addsitedir breaks compat

Initial Comment:

  Old .pth files now raise a TypeError, which site.py
does not catch, which causes the import of site.py to fail.

  The new required parameter is also undocumented and,
on a cursory inspection, it is unclear to me what its
purpose is.

  This comes up because Debian allows for a version
neutral site-packages directory, /usr/lib/site-python/,
into which .pth files can be placed.
