Refresh the other-implementations comparison for Lmod 9.4.5 and Modules 5.8.0: path entry priority is no longer a feature exclusive to Lmod now that the --priority option is available on prepend-path and append-path, so it is removed from the Lmod-only feature list and the Lua priority syntax is mapped to its Modules equivalent in the correspondence table.

Also describe in the prepend-path, append-path and use documentation sections how these commands behave when the path_entry_reorder configuration option is enabled, as these sections only described the default behavior where an element already defined in the variable is neither added again nor moved. This behavior change is recorded in the version history of these commands.

Path entry priority is no longer a feature exclusive to Lmod now that
the --priority option is available on prepend-path and append-path. Map
the Lua priority syntax to its Modules equivalent in the correspondence
table and refresh the compared versions.

The prepend-path, append-path and use sections state that an element
already defined in the variable is neither added again nor moved, which
is only true when the path_entry_reorder configuration option is
disabled. Describe how these commands behave when this option is
enabled and record this behavior change in their version history.
