Title: Allow linux client scripts to be run from a different directory (rebased onto dev_4_4)

This is the same as gh-1728 but rebased onto dev_4_4.

----

Download and extract OMERO.clients-XXX-linux.zip

You should be able to start Insight using the following on Linux and Mac OS X:
```
./OMEROinsight_unix.sh
```
```
cd /some/other/directory
/path/to/extracted/clients/OMEROinsight_unix.sh
```
The following should work on Linux:
```
ln -s /path/to/extracted/clients/OMEROinsight_unix.sh /usr/local/bin/insight
# (or some other directory in your PATH)
insight
```
and similarly for `OMEROeditor_unix.sh` and `OMEROimporter_unix.sh`

Double clicking is distribution dependent, e.g. in Fedora a dialog pops up asking whether you want to run or edit it.
INSTALL.txt also updated.
