the new helper findExectuable first tries to find the executables in the
default location. which is all the sane distro/system paths and will 99%
yield a result.
should it come back negative we'll fall back to the hardcoded list of
paths as previously used.
this fixes binary lookup when the entire dir tree is located *not* under /
(as with snap and I think also appimage)

On NixOS, all executables are under /nix/store/$HASH-$NAME/bin. These get linked into the PATH. Seeing that Akonadi was not respecting PATH previously I wonder how it could work there.
So I checked https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/kde/akonadi/akonadi-paths.patch
There the paths are hardcoded. I think after this lands the NixOS patch can be simplified, although the hard-coding gives a faster startup.
Patch looks elegant to me.
