Fallback to native-image on PATH?

[sogaiu]

I have native-image in my PATH but it isn't used. (As the documentation mentions, setting GRAALVM_HOME or having the bin subdirectory of my project contain a symlink to native-image works.)

https://github.com/taylorwood/clj.native-image/blob/567176ddb0f7507c8b0969e0a10f60f848afaf7d/src/clj/native_image.clj#L57-L59

Does it sound reasonable for clj.native-image to make use of a native-image binary that's on one's PATH?

How is something like this?
