.py files having precedence over .pyi files causes problems with opencv-python module (and probably others)

[n0n3m4]

Bug description

If module has both .py and .pyi files available, .py file is always used according to the code added in pull request pylint-dev/astroid#2182
Unfortunately, this doesn't always work correctly, as noted in the discussion of that pull request (even pylint-dev/astroid#2195 was created, but not merged)
One of the popular libraries where this doesn't work is opencv-python, here is an example code:

import cv2
# Correct line
c = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# Incorrect line
i = cv2.ThisDoesntExist(0)

Removing /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/cv2/__init__.py resolves the issue

Configuration

No response

Command used

pylint demo.py

Pylint output

************* Module demo
demo.py:1:0: C0114: Missing module docstring (missing-module-docstring)

Expected behavior

Another common library affected by this issue is alembic where op.py generates the functions and op.pyi is the stub for such functions.

My hack is to swap the order of .py and .pyi extensions at https://github.com/pylint-dev/astroid/blob/31ba1dbd8ae86b55330be861e37d6bc372d9a8a5/astroid/modutils.py#L47C42-L47C42

so that get_source_file() will return the .pyi file.
