sublime3: Use consistent program name (#31720)

Previously, we used symlinks to create short name aliases. Symlink basenames are used as argv[0], and consequently as WM_CLASS hint when executed. This confused desktop managers, which use the hint to pair desktop files with running applications. This patches uses exec scripts instead of symlinks just like the official deb package does, preserving the sublime_text prgname.
