Add instructions to fix path on OS X El Capitan

Browse source 
OS X 10.11 changes the file where `path_helper` is invoked from
`/etc/zshenv` to `/etc/zprofile`. The change results in `path_helper`
rearranging the path in such a way that interferes with path changes
made in `.zshenv`.

This README update instructs users to rename `/etc/zprofile` to
`/etc/zshenv` so that `.zshenv` (and `.zshenv.local`) will be loaded
*after* `path_helper` is called, maintaining the desired precedence of
paths.

Thanks to @reshleman and @ventsislaf for investigating and offering
solutions.

#### Note for OS X El Capitan Users
OS X El Capitan (10.11) calls `path_helper` from `/etc/zprofile`, which gets
sourced *after* `.zshenv`, and will reorder your path in such a way that
installed software such as Ruby, rbenv, Homebrew, etc. may not work correctly.
You can rename the file to prevent it from editing your environment path after
changes made in `.zshenv`:
```shell
% sudo mv /etc/{zprofile, zshenv}
```
