display book path in report

[Derek Atkins]

There is a C API, gnc_get_current_session() defined in gnc-session.h which
you could wrap in engine.i to get gnc-get-current-session, which you could
then use to get call qof-session-get-url.

It would be a small change to engine.i to wrap the function.  Just copy
the existing wrappers for e.g. gnc_get_current_book().
