All backends should include their dependencies on PATH #2260

The Go backend includes dependency_env, which means that it should include any version of Go that's managed by mise on PATH when it runs commands: https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/backend/go.rs#L77

Other backends don't do this. e.g. npm: https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/backend/npm.rs#L71-L72. This means that the npm backend can't install unless npm is already on PATH.

All of the backends already declare dependencies (e.g. https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/backend/pipx.rs#L33-L35) in order to install them before running the backend, so it makes sense that they should all make use of them while running the backend.

mise does do this, but experimental backends are still a work in progress so there are gaps
