go/packages: detect missing binary via exec.ErrNotFound error

Browse Source 
exec.Command already runs exec.LookPath when given a name that contains
no path separators. There's no need to call exec.LookPath a second time
to detect that cmd.Run failed because of a missing executable file.
It can be detected from the returned error. Do so because it's cleaner.

Also improve the error text to say that the problem was that the go
executable file was not found in $PATH (or %PATH%, etc., depending on
the underlying operating system). In the general case, we can't know if
Go is or isn't installed.

Example error text on macOS:

	gopackages: 'go list' driver requires 'go', but executable file not found in $PATH

Updates golang/go#29552
