Fix test_source_file_does_not_override_standard_library to work with Python 3.9.

Overloading the "re" module causes weird errors on our new Windows VM image, probably because Python itself uses it for some purpose now. I noticed this in our Bazel CI testing area, so the new image is not yet live.

Let's try to use a module that's less core to Python, but still in the standard library - I picked "mailbox" after looking at the list of standard library modules.

Here's an example log from the failing test on the new image:

```
