Rebuild the package with wheel instead of zip for correct signatures.

Fixes issue-482.

Instead of re-zipping the files after fixing up binaries, we use the WheelFile from bdist_wheel package to rebuild the wheel properly.

This works as-is if the wheel package is available to the system python interpreter, otherwise we may need a little more scripting to setup venv and pip install wheel.

Looks like the wheel package is not intended to be used as a library so it does not provide a stable API (see docs here).

It turns out there is an even easier way to package a directory with wheel using CLI. I updated the PR accordingly.
