All scripts in libexec/ (excluding pyenv) are called through pyenv,
therefore the shebang lines are not necessary. On some systems this
provides a measurable increase in performance of the shell prompt.

This is required for the shims to handle `#!/usr/bin/env python3` in a
shebang, just like `python` is handled currently: it will set
`PYENV_DIR` to the root of the invoked script, which is required for a
`.python-version` script to get picked up from there.
