_install_state_path() called Path.resolve() on the suite venv's python
executable, which follows symlinks to the base interpreter. On systems
where the base interpreter lives in a read-only location (e.g. a system
Python framework at /usr/local/fbcode/), this causes a PermissionError
when writing the per-suite install state file.
Drop .resolve() so the state file is written relative to the venv path,
which is always writable.
Test plan:
Before: bench-servers crashes immediately with PermissionError:
[Errno 1] Operation not permitted:
'/usr/local/fbcode/platform010/Python3.12.framework/...
/.python-lsp-compare-install.json'
After: bench-servers completes successfully across all 4 servers.
Pyrefly: 1 failed point (tsp_core/generic specialization —
pre-existing config bug, not caused by this change).
43 unit tests pass.
