Subject: fix: forward $PATH to tmux popup in zsh (#3198)

The functionality to run a tmux popup has the problem that the command
runs as a child of the `tmux` *server* process, rather than the current
shell. One potential issue is that the `$PATH` is not forwarded to this
command, so the `atuin` command may not be found.

Fixes: https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/3182 (#3182)
