The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment. However, vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this default setup to assume that a command should always be present would cause failures. This commit improves the detection of such external commands as follows: * If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it. * If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be portable enough). ** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}. ** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command". Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that we assume will always exist. Those commands are set up in the environment only when using bincheck and taptest. The CI includes all those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there. I have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of those commands. While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and vcregress.pl in ~v13. --with-lz4 has been added in v14~ so there is no point to have this information in these older branches.
