provide python without RUNPATH for staticx-support

[Andrwe]

Description:
I want to use this project as GH action to generate a statically linked python binary using staticx.

While implementing the workflow I ran into JonathonReinhart/staticx#188 due to the usage DT_RUNPATH.

It would be nice to have a setup-python version which does not use RUNPATH for use-cases like this.

Justification:
I understand that using RUNPATH simplifies the process of provinding a self-contained and reusable venv.
Unfortunately for running staticx that is bad because the generated binary will check the path defined by RUNPATH on the system running it and not be fully self-contained.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Yes, but unfortunately I don't know TypeScript and cannot grasp the work required.

Hello @Andrwe! Thank you for the report. We'll investigate it

@MaksimZhukov , this is a major blocker to the Python community which is currently unable to build universal (static binaries) using the standard setup-python action.

Is there something we can do to try to prioritize the work on this ? (I am also not a typescript developer).

Thanks

Thank you for letting us know about the issue importance!
We will prioritise this issue and get back to you with the results of the investigation!

Thanks for the quick update.

Meanwhile I will try to find some stamina to build and maintain alternative action so that we can use more specifically for staticx builds.
