[PATCH v2] clang-tools: Print information when clang-tidy tool is missing

[Maciej Falkowski]

When clang-tidy tool is missing in the system, the FileNotFoundError
exception is raised in the program reporting a stack trace to the user:

$ ./scripts/clang-tools/run-clang-tools.py clang-tidy ./compile_commands.json
multiprocessing.pool.RemoteTraceback:
"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 125, in worker
    result = (True, func(*args, **kwds))
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 48, in mapstar
    return list(map(*args))
  File "./scripts/clang-tools/run-clang-tools.py", line 54, in run_analysis
    p = subprocess.run(["clang-tidy", "-p", args.path, checks, entry["file"]],
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 489, in run
    with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 854, in __init__
    self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 1702, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'clang-tidy'
"""

The patch adds more user-friendly information about missing tool:

$ ./scripts/clang-tools/run-clang-tools.py clang-tidy ./compile_commands.json
Command 'clang-tidy' is missing in the system

Hi Masahiro,

Thank you for your feedback!
I am sorry that I haven't replied for so long.

I agree with your point, based on this I would like
to propose a second version of the patch.

changes in v2:
 - Solution has changed from LBYL style to EAFP

Best regards,
Maciej Falkowski
