[OE-core] [PATCH 09/10] wic: Make find_binary_path() more user-friendly

find_binary_path() is useful, but if the binary isn't found, it prints
a stacktrace and a less-than-useful message.  Users complain when they
get stacktraces for things they can act on, so remove the stacktrace
and tell the user what the problem is.
