Summary: python -c readlink()s and stat()s '-c'

Initial Comment:
Due to the way input arguments are processed by Py_Main
when Python is invoked with the -c switch,
PySys_SetArgv treats '-c' as the name of the python
executable and tries to get an absolute path for it
before adding it to sys.argv.

This is mostly harmless, but is doing work that
shouldn't be done: on UNIX it involves calling
readlink() and realpath().

The patch avoids the lookup if argv0 is '-c'.
