Add "lookpath" package

Background

When we google "how to check if a command exists in nodejs", many inefficient ways are suggested with spawning subprocesses.

This package provides the simplest way to do that WITHOUT depending on other binaries.

Hi @gokaygurcan , I saw some of your comments mentioning "not-acceptable for low-stared repos" policy.
I'm not that enthusiastic to get this PR merged 😅, but I want to know more "awesome" solution for this purpose. If you know something, please let me know 🙏

I can agree with @gokaygurcan in saying this PR is not ready to be merged since the lookpath only holds a couple of stars.
I would suggest to close this issue for now and reopen in the future if that package become "awesome"

@andreasonny83 Thank you for your comment. Sounds fair enough for me.
By the way, do you know better solution for this purpose? I need to know something "awesome" on this topic.

All you can do is to promote lookpath and make sure the project gets a least 1k stars on GitHub, then you should be able to re-open this ticket
