/// * `path` - A reference to a vector that holds a list to the shell $PATHs

/// # Returns
/// * `bins: Vec<String>` - A new cache of all valid file paths in $PATH
///
/// # Examples
/// ```
/// let path = vec!["/bin"];
/// let path = path.into_iter().map(Path::new).collect();
/// let mut bins = path::refresh(&path);
/// ...
/// // A situation occurs where the $PATH needs to be refreshed
/// bins = path::refresh(&path)
