utils: avoid using internal _imp.is_frozen() imp has been deprecated for a long time, and were removed in Python 3.12 . As a workaround, we started using the internal _imp. That is ugly and risky. It seems less risky to get the functionality in some other way. Here, we just inspect if 'origin' of the '__main__' module is set and 'frozen'. That seems to work and do the same, and might be better than using the internal _imp directly. This way of inspecting module attributes seems to work in some test cases, but it is a risky change. This level of importlib doesn't have much documentation, a complicated implementation, and we are dealing with some odd use cases.
