Subject: [PATCH 1/1] gnu: lyx: Wrap binary to let it find qtsvg

Wrap the lyx binary to set QT_PLUGIN_PATH to let it find qtsvg. Without this, when running lyx in a profile without qtsvg, the menu will contain text instead of icons.
The prefix was changed and the symlink phase was removed because wrapping the lyx binary made it fail to find the lyx system directory. Other solutions were setting the LYX_DIR_23x environment variable and using the -sysdir argument.
Changing the prefix and removing the symlink phase made the LYX_DIR_23x environment variable used earlier in the build redundant, and it was therefore removed.
