python: Move catch_conflicts.py into subdirectory (#23600 )

Python does add the script's directory into "sys.path". For the case of
"catch_conflicts.py" this means "/nix/store" is added to "sys.path". This can
result in very long delays if the store contains a lot of entries.

catch_conflicts.py

The file catch_conflicts.py is in a subdirectory because, if it isn't, the /nix/store/ directory is added to sys.path causing a delay when building.
