zprofile: introduce zprofile use
El Capitan (OS X 10.11) introduces a system-level /etc/zprofile which
uses a path_helper thing to mangle $PATH. Unfortunately, the way
path_helper works, it forces /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin to the
*start* of the PATH variable, which means that any PATH mutations I
want have to run after /etc/zprofile calls path_helper. As such, move
my path insertions into .zprofile{,-machine} rather than
.zshenv{,-machine} so that I can still ensure my path entries are at
the start of PATH rather than the end. This works because:

This means that non-login shells no longer pick up my custom PATH
entries, but as I only use OS X as a desktop OS that seems like a
workable tradeoff for now.
