The 'query the "remote-path" property' looks into the Tramp cache for
the given connection. If there is a value, it is used. Otherwise, the
code is executed, which is (process-file "getconf" nil t nil "PATH").

The result is stored in the cache; next time the function is called it
uses the cached result.
