Prior to this change, on Linux, if one created a symbolic link to the
dart executable and ran that, the kernel-service snapshot would not be
found. This has the effect of compiling the input script on a
non-trained kernel service, meaning the startup is slower.
This is particularly bad as the debian install of dart creates a symbolic
link to dart as /usr/bin/dart with the target being /usr/lib/dart/bin/dart
meaning that for instance running a hello-world script like one normally
would, `dart hello.dart` would take something along the lines of 3-4 times
longer than if running `/usr/lib/dart/bin/dart hello.dart`.
On my Pixelbook (in crostini) this is ~755 ms vs ~210 ms.
This change does *NOT* fix it on other platforms.
