fix(path-check): validate RC file configuration instead of subprocess PATH

Check if package managers are configured in shell RC file rather than
checking if they're in the current subprocess PATH. This prevents false
positives when tools are properly configured but subprocess doesn't
inherit shell environment.

- Add is_configured_in_rc() helper to check RC file directly
- Apply RC file check universally (not just for nvm)
- Change warning message to clarify RC file vs PATH distinction
- Fixes false "missing from PATH" warnings for properly configured tools
