[PATCH v6 3/6] run-command: make `exists_in_PATH()` non-static

[Miriam Rubio <mirucam@gmail.com>]

From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@gmail.com>

Removes the `static` keyword from `exists_in_PATH()` function
and declares the function in `run-command.h` file.
The function will be used in bisect_visualize() in a later
commit.
