This pull request centralizes the logic for finding the executable path to handle re-execution scenarios. The new bootc_utils::reexec::executable_path() function is a solid approach. My review focuses on a couple of places where this new utility was missed, one of which could lead to a critical runtime failure. Addressing these will make the implementation more robust and consistent with the goals of this change.

Prep for fixing bootc-dev#1434 Basically in the selinux path we copy our binary to a tempfile, which breaks `/proc/self/exe`. Fix this by setting an environment variable when we do that re-exec and ensuring that *everything* references an internal API (now moved to utils/ so it can be shared) that looks for the env var first.
