Fix LALApps pulsar test harness scripts

Description

Various fixes for the LALApps pulsar test harness scripts:

  1. Part of the test harness wasn't handling the new .py extension correctly, so the .tar.gz with the test files wasn't being unpacked (in fact, it wasn't even being added to the distribution tarball).

  2. To use the SWIG bindings from LALApps in the top-level build, there's another magic script that needs to be called, which points Python to the uninstalled locations of the SWIG bindings - because in the top-level build, LALPulsar hasn't been properly installed yet. The LALApps test harness is now calling that script.
