Description
## Summary
The `dnx` dispatcher at `src/Layout/redist/dnx` computes paths from `$(dirname "$0")`. In POSIX `sh`, `$0` is the path used to invoke the script — symlinks are not followed. When invoked via `/usr/bin/dnx` (the standard Linux/macOS package symlink), the script looks for the SDK at `/usr/bin/sdk//dotnet.dll` instead of `/usr/share/dotnet/sdk//dotnet.dll`.
Regression introduced by https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/54472.
## Repro
```console
$ /usr/share/dotnet/dnx --help # direct — works
…dispatches into the SDK…
$ dnx --help # via /usr/bin/dnx — fails
The application to execute does not exist: '/usr/bin/sdk//dotnet.dll'
```
