 * Find the full path to a `node` binary on the current PATH.
 * Note about fix-path:
 *   while fix-path is good, it can cause unexpected behavior when running Cypress locally
 *   for example, using NVM we set local Node to 8
 *   then fix-path adds all user paths, and the found Node is whatever we have
 *   installed globally, like 6 or 10 (NVM path comes later)
 *   So this function only fixes the path, if the Node cannot be found on first attempt
