fix(pack): show more informative error message if no `git` executable

Problem: Relaxing minimal Git version did not fully preserve previous
  behavior in case there no `git` executable. Instead it showed the same
  error as if after `vim.system({ 'does_not_exist' })`.

Solution: Show a more direct "No `git` executable" error message.
