Make run-inspector-locally try to work out where it is installed

This change means that you can run run-inspector-locally from any
directory. You can also symlink to it and it'll do the right thing. This
means you can put a symlink to run-inspectory-locally in your path
called 'virt-inspector', and 'guestfish -i' will work.
