Convert `which` -> `command -v` for POSIX compliance

I learned (via the Git list [1]) that `which` is not part of POSIX.
The POSIX 2008 equivalent is `command -v` [2].  We can make the
Bash-init scripts more portable by sticking to the POSIX utilities
[3].  They'll also be slightly faster because `command` is a Bash
builtin:

  $ command -V command
  command is a shell builtin
