First, this commit adds detection of Python versions installed via Python.org's Mac OS installers (which are installed in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/). virtualfish will prefer Python.org installations over Homebrew Python, but asdf, pyenv, or pythonz are preferred over Python.org installs. Second, this commit fixes an issue in how Python versions are deteced when calling 'vf new -p' or 'vf upgrade -p'. Before this commit, virtualfish checked if various executables are available, but didn't continue to search if the specified Python version has not been installed with said application. For example, if 'pyenv' is available but the specified Python version has not been installed with pyenv, virtualfish will directly fall back to pass to Virtualenv as-is instead of continuing the search in, say, pythonz or Homebrew. While it is unlikely that one would have both pyenv and pythonz installed, continuing to search for Python versions if it hasn't been installed in the first application found is useful with regards to detecting Python.org installs. One might mostly use pyenv, but has issues compiling a particular Python version with it and therefore installs it with Python.org's Mac installer.
