De-duplicate setup_path

All the scripts in bin/ can share the definition. Also
setup_paths.py calls setup_path so one just has to import
that module before importing those from lib/python/.

Additionally this helps some scripts work better under Python 3,
as one variant of setup_paths that we had called string.rfind,
which is not present there.
