This pull request updates the handling of subcommands in the Swift Driver to ensure correct behavior when the subcommand executable is not adjacent to swift-driver itself. Now, if the adjacent binary doesn't exist, the driver will fall back to a $PATH-based search rather than attempting to run the missing executable (this seems to be the intended behavior based on the comment above this code).
I also expanded the error message for the failure case here.
This change is important because allows users to use subcommands that didn't come bundled with Swift.
Fixes #1932
