Subject: [PATCH] Optimize module_exists_in_site_packages

The optimization achieves a 38% speedup by addressing the most expensive operations in the original code's hot loop. The key improvements are:

**Primary optimization - Early filtering before string splits:**
The original code performed `entry.split("-", 1)[0]` on every file in site-packages directories (16,503 hits taking 23.5% of total time). The optimized version first checks `if not entry.endswith(suffixes)` to skip entries that can't possibly be package metadata files, reducing splits from 16,503 to just 4,340 operations - a 74% reduction in the most expensive operation.

**Function call locality:**
Moving `os.path.join`, `os.path.isdir`, `os.path.isfile`, `os.path.exists`, and `os.listdir` to local variables eliminates repeated global lookups in the inner loops, providing consistent micro-performance gains across all directory operations.

**Optimized suffix checking:**
Using a single `endswith(suffixes)` call with a tuple instead of three separate `or` conditions reduces function calls and improves readability of the filtering logic.

**Better error handling:**
Adding a try/except around `os.listdir` specifically handles permission errors per directory without affecting the overall exception handling, making the function more robust.

**Performance characteristics:**
- Best gains on directories with many non-package files (like `test_large_number_of_egg_info_dirs`: 60.6% faster)
- Small overhead on simple cases due to setup costs, but still maintains comparable performance
- Significant improvements when package metadata is found (like `test_module_name_with_dash`: 36.5% faster)

The optimization is particularly effective for real-world site-packages directories that contain many files and directories, where the early filtering prevents unnecessary string processing on irrelevant entries.
