Subject: [PATCH] use a $TAIL_PATH env for 'tail' command

The command 'tail' was aliased to 'colortail' in my local environment
and 'colortail' was not installed locally, so it failed during setting
up the 'cd' and '__gvm_oldcd' functions. This caused the 'cd' command
to silently do nothing and never change directories.
