2.44.0

This release expands PEX scie support on Windows to more cases by changing how the PEX_ROOT is
handled for PEX scies on all operating systems. Previously, the PEX_ROOT was constrained to be
in a special location inside the scie nce cache directory structure. Now PEX scies install their
PEXes inside the normal system PEX_ROOT like other PEXes do. This leads to shorter PEX cache paths
that work on more Windows systems in particular.

All that said, Windows is still not officially supported!

• Let PEX scies install PEXes in the PEX_ROOT. (Let PEX scies install PEXes in the PEX_ROOT. #2807)
