Things missing from PATH variable in OS X Big Sur

See original GitHub issue

VS Code Version: (various)
OS Version: OS X Big Sur

We have not been able to reproduce this issue ourselves, but have seen a lot of users hitting problems with the PATH variable missing some things on Big Sur. It does not happen when running the Terminal app nor within terminals manually-launched within VSCode, but does seem to happen when things execute as tasks or in the background via child_process.

As a result of missing entries, commands like docker ... fail.

@deepak1556 we’ve made a lot of changes in the Docker extension too; likely they will make it more sensitive to issues with $PATH. So far we haven’t seen any customer reports of problems that look like $PATH issues, but I’ll respond back if we see anything.
