Subject: [ruby-core:110378] [Ruby master Bug#19067] `private_constant` does not work at toplevel in wrapped module context

Issue #19067 has been reported by shioyama (Chris Salzberg).

----------------------------------------
Bug #19067: `private_constant` does not work at toplevel in wrapped module context
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19067

* Author: shioyama (Chris Salzberg)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
```ruby
#foo.rb 
module Foo
end
private_constant :Foo
```

```ruby
module MyModule; end
load "./foo.rb", MyModule
# undefined method `private_constant' for main:Object (NoMethodError)
#                                            
# private_constant :Foo                      
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                           
# Did you mean?  private_methods
```

However, this works:

```ruby
module MyModule
  module Foo
  end
  private_constant :Foo
end
```

`load` loads the code under the `wrap` module, so this seems like a bug to me.
