scanner: remove BASENAME(); don't strip path from program_name
There's no technical need of stripping path from program_name. I think the users should be fine if they see the path they use to invoke flex is diagnostic messages and help texts. Yes, users will see "Usage: ../flex [OPTIONS]..." now if they invoke flex with the path "../flex". The --version output has been changed so that the name field will be always "flex" or "flex++". If the flex program has been renamed to "lex" (for compatibility or other reason) this will allow identifying the implementation name ("flex"). (And it's a recommended practice in GNU Coding Standards)
