Does not honour `/usr/bin/editor` / `update-alternatives`

@spenserblack (pinging since it doesn't look like you're watching the repo (see https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/157470), sorry if that was intentional)

My system comes with /usr/bin/editor -> /etc/alternatives/editor which is managed by update-alternatives. find-editor does not use this, instead using vi when EDITOR is unset. I propose to fall back to editor if it exists instead of vi, only using vi when editor is not found on PATH.

Whoops I'm bad at searching, https://crates.io/crates/edit exists that does do what I want. I probably won't be using find-editor, sorry.

Thanks for the ping! I had misread that announcement and assumed that the change was for organization repositories, not personal repositories.

Anyway, /usr/bin/editor seems like a much more reasonable default than vi 👍

I mostly wrote this for personal use, so no worries if you want to use a different crate. I've never seen a crate use that license, though 🤔
