zipimporter.get_filename() compiled source modules just to work out the
module's file name. find_spec() calls it through spec_from_loader(), so
importing a source module from a ZIP archive compiled it twice and emitted
every SyntaxWarning twice.

get_filename() now returns before reading or compiling the source.
As a result, a SyntaxError in a zipped source module is now raised by
exec_module() rather than by find_spec() or get_filename(), and
the source isn't compiled twice during import, which matches
the filesystem-based loaders.
(cherry picked from commit 230917f)

`zipimporter.get_filename()` compiled source modules just to work out the
module's file name. `find_spec()` calls it through `spec_from_loader()`, so
importing a source module from a ZIP archive compiled it twice and emitted
every `SyntaxWarning` twice.

`get_filename()` now returns before reading or compiling the source.
As a result, a `SyntaxError` in a zipped source module is now raised by
`exec_module()` rather than by `find_spec()` or `get_filename()`, and
the source isn't compiled twice during import, which matches
the filesystem-based loaders.
