Get pip installed executables into the asdf path

Given I am using asdf when I install a python executable via pip, then I expect to be able to run that executable at the command line.

> asdf global python 3.7.2
> pip install some-executable-package
> some-executable
zsh: command not found: some-executable

This is because a shim has not yet been created for this executable. If you look into your shims dir for the executable:

> ls $(dirname $(which pip)) | grep some-executable

It doesn't exist.

To place a shim into the shims dir of asdf you must reshim.

> asdf reshim python

And now you have a shim that points to the executable:

> ls $(dirname $(which pip)) | grep some-executable
some-executable
> some-executable
Hello World!
