We're going to eliminate the need to mandatorily use `pyenv init --path`.
We can't delete it yet for backward compatibility.
Besides, there's one other use case for it: to enable shims but without
shell integration, e.g. for noninteractive shells.
To be a full-fledged replacement for `pyenv init -` however,
it needs to do rehashing.
Now the setup is to add to both rc and profile:
1) set PYENV_ROOT
(can do it unconditionally -- since if you change it,
you need to update all places anyway since any of them can be run first)
2) Add `pyenv` to PATH if not already there
3) eval "$(pyenv init -)"
Not a breaking change, old setup will continue to work.
In GNU `sed`, the `-iEe` argument is equivalent to `--in-place=Ee`, which would create `~/.profileEe` as backup of `~/.profile` if the command executed successfully. However, because the `e` is no longer being processed as an expression argument, `sed` does not correctly join the expressions and exits with `sed: -e expression #2, char 10: unexpected }`.
The intent is to use extended regex, perform the changes in-place, and use a series of expressions, so `-Ei -e` is used instead.
Debian/Ubuntu's stock `~/.bashrc` prepends `~/.local/bin` to `PATH` towards its end if it exists.
Executables for per-user modules for system Python are installed into `~/.local/bin` --
so need to prepend `shims` to `PATH` later that that.

* Update install instructions for Bash and Zsh
* Synchronize README.md with `pyenv init`
* Add a ~/.bash_profile note
* Concatenate shims activation into installation for brevity
(Pyenv can't be used meaningfully without shims anyway)
Otherwise, we'd need to duplicate all the ~/.profile shenanigans in both sections
* Update based on feedback
* Proofread
Sometimes it is convenient to be able to temporarily disable something
in a version-file. Because these files often aren't necessarily tracked
in a SCM, especially when working with virtualenvs, the SCM diffs won't
help with showing removed lines which are currently the only way to
disable something.
