ci: allow specifying pmbootstrap path to aid running locally

I don't like how CI requires pmbootstrap in PATH to be a symlink, I use a wrapper script to handle running pmbootstrap how I want and the current pmbootstrap path detection is kinda annoying since it depends on it being a symlink.

This allows using an environment variable, PMBOOTSTRAP_PATH, to set the pmbootstrap path and skip all of the symlink resolving stuff.

Do I understand it correctly that the problem is the part where it checks for whether /pmb/__init__.py exists?

It seems like this somehow ended up in !4994 (merged) and as such was merged into master as 40a46fd4.

mentioned in commit 28f8f313

How about changing the code, so pmbootstrap.py could also just not be a symlink? Then you could let the existing PMBOOTSTRAP_CMD env var point at your pmbootstrap.py inside your pmbootstrap.git clone. And we don't need to add a new, similar environment variable.
