Unable to run when there is a logging.py in the directory Orange is launched in about orange3

I think the only thing that should be done is use the python -P | PYTHONSAFEPATH=1 python in all of the application startup scripts/shortcuts like in biolab/orange3-installers#52

Per https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys_path_init.html, the first directory in sys.path is the current directory (when started with -m, otherwise the directory of the current script). It would seem safe to remove it, e.g. by putting del sys.path[0] in __main__.

I tried and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. Does anybody, in particular @ales-erjavec, see any problem?

In Python 3.11 there is a python -P | PYTHONSAFEPATH=1 python option which does not add those path entries. So the delete cannot be unconditional.

Also this would need to be in Orange/__init__.py before anything else is imported.
