PathResolver (gradle-extools 2.2 API)

```
class PathResolver
extends java.lang.Object
```
Finds executable in the PATH Reproduces the native mechanisms that Windows and Unix-like systems use to find executable in the directories specified in the PATH variables. Java doesn't allow to overwrite the PATH variable of the current process, and we actually don't want to do that anyway, since it is used for the whole process and any new child processes. Theoretically, we could also use ProcessBuilder to start a CMD.EXE or bash process to force the system to resolve the PATH, but reproducing the system algorithms is probably easier to understand, test and debug. It also avoids an unnecessary process.
