add early sanity check for test programs existing

It used to be possible to do this:

```
bomb = find_program('nonexisting', required: false)
test('traceback during meson test', bomb)
```

and it would in fact bomb out, with:

```
[0/1] Running all tests.

    This is a Meson bug and should be reported!
```

This is something we explicitly check for elsewhere, for example when
using a not-found program as a command in a custom target or generator.

Check for it when making a test too, and error out with a similar error.

Fixes #10091
