pipx has been added, but is configured incorrectly

[dalemyers]

Description

In the latest macOS 13 arm64 image, pipx is now installed. However, it has been installed with the PIPX_BIN_DIR and PIPX_HOME variables set in a way which means the tool doesn't work.

Here's what they are set to:

PIPX_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/opt/pipx_bin
PIPX_HOME=/usr/local/opt/pipx

By default, these should be:

PIPX_HOME="$HOME/Library/Application Support/pipx"
PIPX_BIN_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin"

With the ones that are set, we cannot use pipx as it tries to set up a virtual environment for itself and fails due to lack of access to that path. The workaround is to manually set the environment variables before using it.
