When we fail to find gpatch, don't say that we failed to find patch.

Cosmetic fix to commit 1254f14 ("tests: validate "patch" and "ed" commands once, print meaningful messages (#226)")

This is an extremely minor fix because the error message already printed "gpatch validation failed, no such file or directory" even before this commit.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

When we fail to find `gpatch`, don't say that we failed to find `patch`.

Cosmetic fix to commit 1254f14 ("tests: validate "patch" and "ed"
commands once, print meaningful messages (uutils#226)")

This is an extremely minor fix because the error message already printed
"gpatch validation failed, no such file or directory" even before this
commit.
