[issue38309] Avoid creating duplicate PATH entries with the macOS installer

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger :

The macOS installer updates .bash_profile to add the current python version to 
the PATH.

The problem is that it doesn't check to see if that work has already been done 
in a previous installation.  So, as a person install successive beta releases, 
release candidates, a final release, and then maintenance releases, the PATH 
variable grows and grows.

As it stands now, a manual edit is required every after every update/upgrade.
