In newer versions of Ubuntu running pip3 install kcli results in the following error:

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
...

Solutions seem to be either use a virtual environment, install the package with apt (which isn't available for us as we need), or use pipx if installing an application, which we are.

This attempts to use the logic to install with pipx, including a shell reload at the end of the script to force the PATH to be updated

I've manually tested this on 22.04 and 24.04 and it all (non-kbs) test passed for me

It looks like in the CI the shell reload to pick up the new path isn't working, which might be to do with GHA isolating PATH between steps, so we might need some PATH update in the workflow, so putting this in draft for now.

I hope my workflow commit will do the trick. I'm not sure we can test it though, so maybe the best plan is to split out the workflow change and deliver it separately?

With pipx to install kcli, we now need `${HOME}/.local/bin`
to be added to `PATH`, so that we can pick up the install,
so try exporting this to $GITHUB_PATH
