Windows: Don't imply PATH=. about xonsh HOT 7 CLOSED

if a xonsh user wants this behavior, they can $PATH.insert(0, '.') (on any platform).

@jaraco may be we need to add this to docs? E.g. Platform-specific tips and tricks - Windows

Yeah, those were different times 😅

I'm happy to drop this behavior, move it to a xontrib or hide behind a configuration. For maintenance, I think the best would be a xontrib if people want it. I certainly don't need or use it for now.

I'll check the sudo implementation to remember what was going on but arguably, that should be in a xontrib too. Thoughts?

Just checked the sudo alias and TBH I think it is actually quite confusing if for people who want a unified experience. Don't know why we thought it was a good idea to bake in. I guess we didn't have xontribs back then so we didn't have a better way to share this around?

The linked PR #5477 just removes it. No need to add it to a xontrib - if a xonsh user wants this behavior, they can $PATH.insert(0, '.') (on any platform).

Done in cf2f422.

Great read! One question: $PATH.append() (lowest priority) or $PATH.prepend() (highest priority)? Or mention both.
