Description
Updates the build.py script to use the script’s absolute location rather than relying on a relative path.
Rationale
Hi Mendix Team,
While setting up CI/CD pipelines using the Mendix Docker Buildpack with GitLab, I noticed that the current implementation assumes the script is executed from the root of the buildpack repository. This assumption may not hold in some CI/CD scenarios, where the buildpack might be downloaded into a temporary directory and invoked from within the root of the Mendix project instead.
By resolving paths relative to the script’s actual location, it makes build.py more robust and flexible in a wider range of environments and improves customers' experience using the build pack.
Suggested Changes
- Add SCRIPT_DIR as global variable to address the location of current script.
- Join SCRIPT_DIR with following files & directories to avoid file not found issue

I have the changes in my forked repo and have tried to successfully built a mda directory in my local machine.
