    first tries the environment variable in +id+, next gets the Flask
    app setting for the same +id+ and finally does an educated
    +guess+.

    In all, the environment overrides the others, next is the flask
    setting, then the guess. A valid path to the binary command is
    returned. If none is resolved an exception is thrown.

    Note that we do not use the system path. This is on purpose
    because it will mess up controlled (reproducible) deployment. The
    proper way is to either use the GNU Guix defaults as listed in
    etc/default_settings.py or override them yourself by creating a
    different settings.py file (or setting the environment).
