Package programs have relative import fails when compiled

When I run create an executable with nuitka --standalone, the resulting executable gives errors about relative imports.

• Nuitka version:

> python -m nuitka --version
0.6.18.4
Commercial: None
Python: 3.9.9 (tags/v3.9.9:ccb0e6a, Nov 15 2021, 18:08:50) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)]
Flavor: Unknown
Executable: C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe
OS: Windows
Arch: x86_64

• Installed from Nuitka-6.1.184.win-amd64.py39.msi

• Code that I tried to compile: https://github.com/jonorthwash/randomtest

• Output of nuitka --standalone MyApp:

>nuitka --standalone MyApp

• Output of running the script via python -m MyApp (expected):

>python -m MyApp

running util.tools.Tool from within module
init Tool
testing util
init Tool

• Output of running executable (unexpected):

>MyApp.dist\MyApp.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Z:\2021-12-20\MyApp.dist\__main__.py", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

This issue may be related to #493 or #869. I’m probably just doing something wrong, but @kayhayen suggested in Nuitka-chat/community that I submit an issue about this.

I pushed to factory a change that makes this work. The only horror I have is how to explain this to people.

I included it in 0.6.19 still, taking the risk of breakage.
