Enable lite-xl to be started from a symlink to the deployed binary (#249) 

Use resolved executablePath instead of resourcePath to allow lanching
the lite-xl binary via a symlink, like typically done by Homebrew:

/usr/local/bin/lite-xl -> /Applications/lite-xl.app/Contents/MacOS/lite-xl

The resourcePath returns /usr/local in this case instead of
/Applications/lite-xl.app/Contents/Resources, which makes later
access to the resource files fail. Resolving the symlink to the
executable and then the relative path to the expected directory
Resources is a workaround for starting the application from both
the launcher directly and the command line via the symlink.
