[PATCH] ZSH_EXEPATH: improve documentation, add test

[dana <dana@xxxxxxx>]

i haven't confirmed myself but by all accounts this should work on
solaris via /proc/self/path/a.out and under cygwin via /proc/self/exe,
so i've documented that

also added a test. i only tried it on macos so lmk if it's bad for
anyone
