Get shell from env var if available #56

In modern MacOS account information like shell is not present in /etc/passwd for your user account by default. It's in the Directory Service. Commonly MacOS and Linux have the SHELL env variable set for login shells. This change makes the SHELL env variable the preferred shell discovery mechanism and falls back to /etc/passwd if it's unset.

Thank you for the explanation. I'll patch this in the morning.
