Manage PATH on Windows, Mac, and Linux with various Shells

```bash
pathman list
pathman add ~/.local/bin
pathman remove ~/.local/bin
```

Windows: stores PATH in the registry.

Mac & Linux: stores PATH in `~/.config/envman/PATH.sh`

pathman add ~/.local/bin
```

	export PATH="/Users/me/.local/bin:$PATH"
```

pathman remove ~/.local/bin
```
