setup.py installs Python scripts as 'data' rather than 'scripts'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The setup.py script lists the Python script as a 'data file', alike:

      data_files=[("bin", ["gflags2man.py"])],

while it should be a 'script' instead:

      scripts=["gflags2man.py"],

Installing it a script will make sure that distutils correctly update the 
Python shebang and make the script executable.

I'm attaching a patch fixing setup.py.

python-gflags users should migrate to absl-py:
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/absl-py/

It is the modern version of this library.
