Support determining the binaries' installation path at runtime even if
called without any path components (i.e. via search path). Implement
fallback to compiled-in prefix if determination fails or is impossible.

- Has two very minor memory leaks - function is called only once per
program execution. Do we care? Alternative: Use static buffer instead.
