While previusly configurable, it was inconsistent with other
configuration options and it was missing configurability of in memory /
on disc history size.

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.
Zsh and Prezto files don't always reside in `~/`. Instead, they have
a more spec compliant location (`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/`). Make them
unambiguous in the documentation. Likewise, for `$GNUPGHOME`.
Further, add instruction for optionally setting up Prezto in
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.
While at this, also add clarification on relative ordering of some of
the modules, apply more formatting tweaks and doc improvements.
General purpose reformating and rewording in (a few places). This should
also make markdown linting happier.
Prefer back-ticks wherever useful and use `console` for code blocks to
be executed on terminal.
Also, update references links wherever possible (including update from
'http://' to 'https://').
