Difficulty using rg with TRAMP

[dajva]

This is a bit tricky AFAIK. Essentially the executable-find function makes sure binaries are found in certain setups when emacs is not inheriting the shell $PATH variable (See #31). Removing that would probably make it work with tramp but other setups may suffer.

I could think of breaking out the rg executable to a new variable that does not contain any flags and then the user could choose to either use executable-find (default) or simply use "rg" and let the shell handle locating the executable.
The current executable-find stuff in this package is a mess BTW, which I have been thinking to clean up for a while so I wouldn't mind such a solution at all. But maybe there are better alternatives?

I've pushed a fix where I've added an rg-executable variable that can be customized. Please try it out and see if it works for you.

Yes, that works for me, thanks!
