Description
### Bug Description
We have had multiple reports of users who have the Salesforce CLI installed receiving an error message informing them they do not have the CLI installed, such as: "To use the Salesforce Code Analyzer extension, first install Salesforce CLI."
This can occur for a few reasons, but the root cause is that `sf` is not appearing in the PATH of the running VS Code instance. This tends to affect mac users when you have installed outside of the [recommended](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli.htm#sfdx_setup_install_cli_macos) CLI steps. We are currently looking into a fix for this.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Open the Code Analyzer VS Code Extension
2. See an error message that the CLI is not installed, preventing use.
### Expected Behavior
If I have the SF CLI installed, Code Analyzer should be able to find it
### Operating System
All
### Visual Studio Code Version
Latest
### Extension Version
1.10.1
### Salesforce CLI Version
2.104.6
### Code Analyzer CLI Plugin Version
5.4.0
### Additional Context (Screenshots, Files, etc)
### Workaround
Open VS Code using the terminal to ensure the `sf` is located in the path of your VS Code application. Re-install the CLI using the [recommended](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli.htm#sfdx_setup_install_cli_macos) steps. Do not use homebrew, or install SF with the assistance of `sudo`.
### Urgency
