New feature: application profiles now support .py as well. Also fixed a sys.path issue where an installed version of archinstall would have precedence over the local version when profiles were being executed (because profiles were living in a unknown relative working directory, the caller to those profiles have to make sure .archinstall exists in sys.path before calling said profile)
