/// Finds the current running binary's path.
///
/// With exception to any following platform-specific behavior, the path is cached as soon as
/// possible, and then used repeatedly instead of querying for a new path every time this function
/// is called.
///
/// # Platform-specific behavior
///
/// ## Linux
///
/// On Linux, this function will **attempt** to detect if it's currently running from a
/// valid [AppImage] and use that path instead.
///
/// ## macOS
///
/// On `macOS`, this function will return an error if the original path contained any symlinks
/// due to less protection on macOS regarding symlinks. This behavior can be disabled by setting the
/// `process-relaunch-dangerous-allow-symlink-macos` feature, although it is *highly discouraged*.
///
/// # Security
///
/// See [`tauri_utils::platform::current_exe`] for possible security implications.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// use tauri::{process::current_binary, Env, Manager};
/// let current_binary_path = current_binary(&Env::default()).unwrap();
///
/// tauri::Builder::default()
///   .setup(|app| {
///     let current_binary_path = current_binary(&app.env())?;
///     Ok(())
///   });
/// ```
