Update script included with runner distributions

The XP runners (xp, xpcli, cgen, xcc, etc., platform-specific commands that wrap the XP bootstrapping process around the underlying PHP runtime) are distributed along with every release of the framework. Any updates to these runners will be installed with the next framework release you install.

If you're using an SVN checkout of the XP Framework, you needed to separately upgrade the runners to start using new features as documented here for example, a command easily forgotten so every time I needed it I would use this blog to rediscover it

5.7.7-RELEASE
