site: use importlib instead of adhoc file searches

This change replaces various cases in which installed distribution and
file look-ups used path searches with importlib.metadata backed
look-ups.

This fixes issues with `dist-info` lookup for PEP610 implementation as
well as `.pth` file look-up and `dist-info` removal.
