vis: also lookup Lua support files relative to the binary location
This simplifies deployment of vis on remote systems without root access. The idea is to extract a statically linked binary together with the lexer syntax files into some directory, adjust $PATH to include it and have everything just work. For now this uses /proc/self/exe and thus only works on Linux based systems.

Vis searches the lexers in the following locations:
* `$VIS_PATH/lexers`
+ * `./lexers` relative to the binary location (using `/proc/self/exe`)
* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vis/lexers`
