Let Python stubs respect RUNFILES_* while finding the module space

When invoking a py_binary() through an sh_binary() using the Bash
runfiles library, the location of the py_binary() will be resolved from
the runfiles manifest file. This means that the argv[0] of the Python
stub script will not point to a location under the runfiles directory of
the shell script, but to a location in Bazel's execroot.

Normally this does not lead to any issues, as argv[0] + ".runfiles"
happens to point to be a valid runfiles directory as well. It does
become problematic when --nobuild_runfile_links is provided, as in that
case only the outer shell script is guaranteed to have a runfiles
directory; not the inner Python script.

This change extends the Python stub template to also consider
RUNFILES_DIR when no runfiles directory can be found. Even though it's
not technically correct, we also attempt to derive the runfiles
directory from RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE. I suspect that this is a
necessity as long as py_binary()s cannot operate purely using a manifest
file. They currently depend on a concrete instantiation of the runfiles
directory.

Fixes: #11997

Closes #14740.
