Do not add home bin path to PATH if it's already there
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is to allow users to control the order via PATH if they so desire.

Tested by preparing two different `cargo-foo` scripts in `$HOME/.cargo/bin` and `$HOME/bin`.

```
> env PATH="/usr/bin/:$HOME/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin" ./target/debug/cargo foo
Inside ~/bin/
> env PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:/usr/bin/:$HOME/bin" ./target/debug/cargo foo
Inside ~/.cargo/bin/
> env PATH="/usr/bin/:$HOME/bin" ./target/debug/cargo foo
Inside ~/.cargo/bin/
```
