Add /home/runner/.local/bin to PATH on Linux

[abitrolly]

/home/runner/.local/bin is not in PATH on Linux, which makes Python CLI tools installed with pip install <command> unavailable. Adding this dir to PATH will make pip in build environment behave similar to how things work in virtualenv where installed commands are immediately available.

Currently, it is possible to set environment variables using this approachs:
