Add toolsetpath API for specifying tool executable paths

Introduces a new API function `toolsetpath(toolsetName, toolName,
toolPath)` that allows users to specify custom paths for tool
executables within their Premake scripts.

This provides a mechanism to override the default tool lookup behavior
for specific toolsets and tools, offering greater flexibility in build
configurations.

Changes include:
- Registering the `toolsetpaths` field in `_premake_init.lua` to store
the custom paths.
- Implementing the `toolsetpath` function in `base/api.lua` to process
and store the provided paths.
- Modifying the `gettoolname` functions in the GCC, Clang, MSVC, SNC,
.NET, and Emscripten toolset modules to check for and use paths defined
via `toolsetpaths` before falling back to default lookup logic.
- Adding tests in the corresponding toolset test files (`tests/tools/`)
to verify that the `toolsetpath` setting correctly overrides the default
behavior.
- Creating a new documentation page (`website/docs/toolsetpath.md`)
detailing the API function, its parameters, and usage.
- Adding an entry for the new documentation page in the website sidebar
(`website/sidebars.js`).
