Azat Khuzhin 1fb7605fb4 Fix self extracting binaries under qemu linux-user (qemu-$ARCH-static)
The problem was that the decompressor uses realpath(/proc/self/exe)
instead of readlink(/proc/self/exe), while realpath() does lots of
trickerly [1] which leads to bypassing qemu linux-user override [2] of
/proc/self/exe to the executable with with it had been called -- and
the reason for this is that the getpid() after unshare returns 1, while
reading /proc/self returns the pid that was before unshare (from the
chroot) [3].

But note, that even after this patch qemu without binfmt will not work,
due to internally the code calls execv() while qemu does not handle it
(see [4]).
