scripts: improve error from qemu-trace-stap on missing 'stap'

If the 'stap' binary is missing in $PATH, a huge trace is thrown

  $ qemu-trace-stap list /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 169, in <module>
  main()
  File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 165, in main
  args.func(args)
  File "/usr/bin/qemu-trace-stap", line 83, in cmd_run
  subprocess.call(stapargs)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 389, in call
  with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 1026, in {}init{}
  self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/subprocess.py", line 1955, in _execute_child
  raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'stap'

With this change the user now gets

  $ qemu-trace-stap list /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
  Unable to find 'stap' in $PATH
