git-gui: properly popup error if gitk should be started but is not installed
On 'Visualize ...', a gitk process is started. Since it is run in the
background, catching a possible startup error doesn't work, and the error
output goes to the console git-gui is started from. The most probable
startup error is that gitk is not installed; so before trying to start,
check for the existence of the gitk program, and popup an error message
unless it's found.
This was noticed and reported by Paul Wise through
