[rexm] Leave environment setup up to the user. (#6101)

rexm used to assume certain paths existed and then `_putenv()` them into `PATH`, which is very error prone. `make` was also assumed, though `mingw32-make` seems to be more common on Windows. Since this shifts things to expect the user to setup their environment, I added some explanation to the README as well.

OP_TESTLOG still uses a hardcoded path when doing web testing (`BUILD_TESTING_WEB`,) unfortunately.

raylib has a big collection of examples to learn how to use the library. It started with just a few examples and it has grown to +160 in the last 12 years, with many of those examples contributed by the community (~50%).
**Managing those examples has become a considerable amount of work.** Some years ago an [examples template](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/examples/examples_template.c) was created to standarize examples format and contents, it simplified the review process but implementing a new example is not enough; adding/modifying an new example from the collection implies a series of actions:

## `rexm` technology used
Usually this kind of pipelines are implemented with high-level scripting languages like Python due to all the functionality already provided, specially useful for files/paths management or text files editing but those languages also require the interpreter available to run. I decided to follow a less common route, implementing the tool directly in C, the language I use for raylib and all my tools.

The main benefit of using C and raylib is that the pipeline can be created in C and it can be build int an independent multi-platform dependency-free executable tool; it also open the door for a possible expansion into a UI interface, if required in the future.

As mentioned, implementing the pipeline in C with raylib required some additional support functions to be added, to simplify some tasks and align with functionality provided by high-level languages; but it was not dramatic and the truth is that the development process just flowed smoothly.

## Environment Setup
Programs that are expected when executing commands:
- `make` : Required for most commands.
- `python`: Only used for `test` when `BUILD_TESTING_WEB` is defined (Python 3 specifically.)
- `git` : Only used for `rename` when `RENAME_AUTO_COMMIT_CREATION` is defined.
OS specific guidance:
- Linux: Everything should already be installed and available.
- Windows: Make sure the directories containing these programs are on your PATH.
- You can define `USE_MINGW_MAKE` to make rexm use `mingw32-make`.
Environment variables that are expected when executing commands:
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_BASE_PATH` : "path/to/raylib-repo/examples"
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_TEMPLATE_FILE_PATH` : "path/to/raylib-repo/examples/examples_template.c"
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_TEMPLATE_SCREENSHOT_PATH`: "path/to/raylib-repo/examples/examples_template.png"
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_COLLECTION_FILE_PATH` : "path/to/raylib-repo/examples/examples_list.txt"
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_VS2022_SLN_FILE` : "path/to/raylib-repo/projects/VS2022/raylib.sln"
- `REXM_EXAMPLES_WEB_PATH` : "path/to/raylib.com-repo/examples"
- [raylib.com repo](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.com)
- `EMSDK_PATH` : "path/to/emsdk"
