Subject: [PATCH v2] scripts/tags.sh: Handle missing {c,e,g}tags/cscope utilities

If the required ctags/etags/gtags/cscope host utility is not found,
current behavior is:

$> make cscope
  GEN     cscope
./scripts/tags.sh: line 140: cscope: command not found
$> make gtags
  GEN     gtags
./scripts/tags.sh: line 145: gtags: command not found
$> make tags
  GEN     tags
xargs: ctags: No such file or directory
sed: can't read tags: No such file or directory
Makefile:1509: recipe for target 'tags' failed
make: *** [tags] Error 2
$> make TAGS
  GEN     TAGS
xargs: etags: No such file or directory
sed: can't read TAGS: No such file or directory
Makefile:1509: recipe for target 'TAGS' failed
make: *** [TAGS] Error 2

Instead of implementing a more graceful handling, this patch only
makes sure that tags.sh script exits immediately upon the first
failure caused by the missing ctags/etags/gtags/cscope tool. By not
altering the exit code, the user will additionally get the failed
recipe in the root Makefile. The output becomes:

$> make cscope
  GEN     cscope
./scripts/tags.sh: line 140: cscope: command not found
Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'cscope' failed
make: *** [cscope] Error 127
$> make gtags
  GEN     gtags
./scripts/tags.sh: line 145: gtags: command not found
Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'gtags' failed
make: *** [gtags] Error 127
$> make tags
  GEN     tags
xargs: ctags: No such file or directory
Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'tags' failed
make: *** [tags] Error 127
$> make TAGS
  GEN     TAGS
xargs: etags: No such file or directory
Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'TAGS' failed
make: *** [TAGS] Error 127
