Ed Rogers 4b88b1379a Add fallback parent process detection to uv tool update-shell (#15356)
## Summary

Closes #15355

This PR adds a fallback mechanism to `Shell::from_env()` that inspects
the parent process when shell environment variables are not available on
Unix-like systems.

Currently, `uv tool update-shell` fails with "the current shell could
not be determined" when environment variables like `ZSH_VERSION`,
`BASH_VERSION`, or `SHELL` are not exported. This commonly occurs in
automated environments such as GitHub Actions runners.

The fallback approach:
1. Uses `nix::unistd::getppid()` to get the parent process ID
2. Reads `/proc/<ppid>/exe` to determine the parent executable path
3. Falls back to `/proc/<ppid>/comm` if the exe symlink fails  
4. Uses existing `parse_shell_from_path()` to identify the shell type

This maintains full backward compatibility - the fallback only activates
when environment variables are unavailable and an error would otherwise
occur.

## Test Plan

Tested locally with:

```bash
env -u ZSH_VERSION -u SHELL PATH="/usr/bin:/bin" $(which cargo) run -- tool update-shell --verbose
```
