Python: script names now include full path
Certain programs, like zim, calibre and now also apparently mercurial,
rely on sys.argv[0] providing not just the script name but the full
path.
The Python docs [1] state the following on the matter:
> argv[0] is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether
this is a full pathname or not).
Therefore, scripts should not expect to receive a full path.
Unfortunately some do. While this can be considered a bug, there doesn't
seem any reason not to provide the full path. Therefore we now provide
the full path.

Changed paths:
M pkgs/applications/office/zim/default.nix
Log Message:
-----------
zim: remove postFixup, include checkPhase, disable tests
- wrap-python.nix used to set sys.argv[0] to the name of the script, but
it now sets the path so we won't have to do it here anymore
- tests were not found, so the correct file is now invoked
