Return list of directories to search programs to run in remote subprocesses.

The remote host is identified by default-directory. For remote hosts that do not support subprocesses, this returns nil. If default-directory is a local directory, this function returns the value of the variable exec-path(var)/exec-path(fun).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
