I have created a test to reproduce the problem with preserving value of variables (e.g., `sys.path`) set up by modules on load. Good if we can discuss this.

> <https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8727>
>
> This adds a new python test which tries to (1) modify \`sys.path\` on module load …and (2) verify preservation of the changes after slicer startup. The mock module structure as follows:
> 
> \`\`\`txt
> SlicerStartupModuleTestHelperModule.py # Mock module which imports SlicerStartupModuleTestHelperPackage
> SlicerStartupModuleTestHelperPackage/\_\_init\_\_.py # Mock Python package which modifies sys.path
> SlicerStartupModuleTestHelperScript.py # Startup script which verifies if sys.path was modified accordingly
> \`\`\`
