Patch CPython to allow venvs to be created from symlinks. When inside a venv and base_executable is passed available. Use the resolved path as the executable_dir rather than the one specified by home in pyvenv.cfg

Mostly fixes #380, and also fixes #713 because we prefer the actual binary path to argv[0]. There are two changes here. The second one is taken from PR #903 (and indirectly from CPython upstream). The reason for that is the first change doesn't quite work on some aarch64 configs, but the second change doesn't cover the case of weird argv[0]. Co-authored-by: Jonathan Helmus <[email protected]>
