Add some functions to control the finder

Browse Source 
* Add column_view function
* Add function to get the path to frontmost Finder window
* Add icon_view function
* Add list_view function
* Update TOC

Unfortunately I didn't note where I got these functions in my zsh
dotfiles so I can't give the original author proper credit. If
anyone does recognize them, please PR to add a credit.

### Get Path of Frontmost Finder Window
```bash
function finder_path {
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"'\
-e "if (${1-1} <= (count Finder windows)) then"\
-e "get POSIX path of (target of window ${1-1} as alias)"\
-e 'else' \
-e 'get POSIX path of (desktop as alias)'\
-e 'end if' \
-e 'end tell';
}
```
### Set Current Directory's Finder View to Column View
```bash
function column_view {
osascript -e 'set cwd to do shell script "pwd"'\
-e 'tell application "Finder"'\
-e "if (${1-1} <= (count Finder windows)) then"\
-e "set the target of window ${1-1} to (POSIX file cwd) as string"\
-e "set the current view of the front Finder window to column view"\
-e 'else' -e "open (POSIX file cwd) as string"\
-e "set the current view of the front Finder window to column view"\
-e 'end if' -e 'end tell';
}
```
### Set Current Directory's Finder View to Icon View
```bash
function icon_view {
osascript -e 'set cwd to do shell script "pwd"'\
-e 'tell application "Finder"'\
-e "if (${1-1} <= (count Finder windows)) then"\
-e "set the target of window ${1-1} to (POSIX file cwd) as string"\

};
```

function list_view {
osascript -e 'set cwd to do shell script "pwd"'\
-e 'tell application "Finder"'\
-e "if (${1-1} <= (count Finder windows)) then"\
-e "set the target of window ${1-1} to (POSIX file cwd) as string"\
-e "set the current view of the front Finder window to list view"\
