Generalize how nxdtest python script is generated into pyprog recipe macro
In e328aa49 (component/nxdtest: Prepare for nexedi/nxdtest!13) I reworked how nxdtest script is generated and splitted it into nxdtest itself and .nxdtest.pyexe python interpreter, so that sys.executable could be used to correctly spawn other python scripts: 3) rework how nxdtest script is generated and split it into .nxdtest.pyexe and nxdtest itself. .nxdtest.pyexe is python interpreter via which nxdtest is run. This interpreter has all eggs required by nxdtest in sys.path, so that nxdtest could spawn its trun.py via sys.executable. If we don't care to have properly setup sys.executable, trun.py will fail when importing any module that nxdtest.py could already successfully import. Initially I tried to workaround this issue via adjusting $PYTHONPATH <- sys.path in main nxdtest script, but @jerome points out that, $PYTHONPATH, if set, also affects processes that trun.py spawns, which is not good: nexedi/slapos!1095 (comment 146799) -> so fix this via running nxdtest via environment where sys.executable is properly setup python interpreter with path for all eggs that nxdtest has access to. Because we already have half-way workarounds for similar problem in several places, and because running a script with correctly setup sys.executable is generally better, I would say it should be a good idea to rework zc.recipe.egg:scripts to generate all scripts to work this way, but I do not want to fight about it. So let's leave this scheme nxdtest-specific for now. This patch addresses the last paragraph and provides a general pyprog buildout macro that could be used to generate python script for any entry point to run with correctly set sys.executable. /cc @jerome
