28fd0c9c87c6fceb7068776a04c32cd8381fe8f6 removed the path attribute from

execute resource. Even tough this attribute is not being honored by any
provider, some existing cookbooks are still depending on this attribute.

Restore path attribute in execute resource with a deprecation message
that it will be removed in Chef 13.
