As noted in #607, pipx may not be on the user's PATH when installed with the --user flag. This PR adds the python3 -m prefix when ensuring the PATH has paths pipx expects. Note that pipx now considers ensurepath best practice again (it's no longer deprecated).

On Windows, it would be py -3 -m pipx, but I don't think it's worth complicating the docs by getting into those nuances.
