The circular dependency between please_pex and its bootstrap archive was broken in please-build#266, allowing for the plugin to be configured to use `//tools_please_pex` as its own pex tool. This is simpler than building the please_pex binary in one step, copying it elsewhere in the file system for persistence, then configuring future steps to use that binary as the pex tool.
