Two additional sets of paths are now added to the default list of well known paths: '$HOME/{bin,sbin}' and '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}'. - '$HOME/{bin,sbin}': Most users have custom scripts in '$HOME/bin' anyway, we might as well honor those. '$HOME/sbin' is not really common, but we can keep it for consistency. - '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}': With Homebrew changing default installation location in macOS on Apple Silicon which will eventually become ubiquitous, we have a good reason to add these paths by default. While at it, we also honor MacPorts installation. In all cases, we add them _iff_ the paths actually exist, not otherwise. This has the side effect of a newly installed program not available immediately in the '$path' in a mint fresh system (because of the fact that '/opt/{homebrew,local}/{bin,sbin}' won't exist initially) until the shell is reloaded. But that's a minor inconvenience to keep the '$path' from getting unnecessarily bloated.main
