fix: resolve first-run experience errors (#721, #771, #730)

- cmdInit (--init) now substitutes EDITOR_PATH, PAGER_PATH, and
  WORK_PATH instead of leaving them as literal strings
- Installer now substitutes WORK_PATH and always creates personal
  and work directories regardless of community cheatsheet choice
- When community cheatsheets are declined, the community cheatpath
  is commented out in the generated config
- config.New() skips nonexistent cheatpaths with a warning instead
  of hard-erroring on EvalSymlinks failure
