It's actually more complex than that: the programs are renamed only
when Emacs is installed, not when Emacs is built.  So when Emacs is
run from the build tree, this variable should have its original name,
and only when Emacs is run from its installed location, the name
should reflect the transform.  Which means the name transformation
cannot be static, at build time; it must be done at run time when we
take note of invocation-name.

It's too late for Emacs 30 for such non-trivial changes,
unfortunately.  So we can only improve this in Emacs 31.
