Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Well, what's the purpose of canonicalizing SAGE_ROOT in the `sage` script?
It seems useful to have canonical names for paths, and it's important for
some doctests (etc.), but do we actually need to do this for the script to
function properly right at the start? If not, we could detect a
preliminary value for `SAGE_ROOT` first, find the `resolvelinks` script,
run it if it exists (e.g., check after seeing if `sage-sage` exists and
before exporting `SAGE_ROOT`), and then find and export the permanent
value for `SAGE_ROOT`.
