[virt-tools-list] really executable installs

Currently, all "installs" on the current master (gtk3) branch are
broken. That is, any install using "autobuild.sh", rpm, or running
python setup.py install.
The problems:
1. setup.py does not include "virtcli" as one of the directories in the
data_files list.
2. Using a fixed path at build time for the wrapper files produces
pathnames that do not work.
I am not sure what to correct fix is here.
Using a relative pathname ("../share/virt-manger/<whatever>") works
"sometimes". Not using a wrapper at all and simply using a symbolic
link in /usr/bin to the above relative pathname does seem to work.
I have my current updates working in the virtual-manager-git-clone
directory but I wanted to make sure that the stuff would actually work
when installed ... that is when I found out "oops".
I did notice that my_build_icons ignores cliconfig.icon_dir.
BTW, there are two separate lists that seem to address the same thing.
scripts[] and cmds[] in my_build().
I will be happy to continue working on this but I need some guidance here.
