scripts: report a missing script program before scanning (#965)

Scripts are run through `sh -c`, so when the program a `call_format`
starts with is missing, the only feedback is whatever the shell prints
once the scan has already finished:

    Open 127.0.0.1:18080
    [~] Starting Script(s)
    [!] Error No such file or directory (os error 2)

which neither names the program nor arrives before a long scan has been
wasted.

Check the first word of every selected script format against PATH while
the scripts are initialised, and fail there with the program named. Name
resolution follows what the shell would do: PATH entries in order, plus
PATHEXT on Windows.

Formats that do not start with a bare program name are left alone, since
their first word is not something PATH can answer for:

- `FOO=bar cmd ...` (leading assignment)
- `/opt/custom/nmap ...` (explicit path)
- `{{script}} ...` (placeholder filled in at run time)

With nmap absent, on the same scan:

    before: scans, then "[!] Error No such file or directory (os error 2)"
    after:  "[!] Initiating scripts failed!
             The script `default` runs `nmap`, which is not installed or
             not in PATH. Install it, or skip scripts with `--scripts none`."

With nmap present the scan and the script phase run as before.

Implemented with std/target-specific helpers rather than a new
dependency: `which` pulls in a newer windows-sys and rewrites ~110 lines
of Cargo.lock for a 15-line check.
