tools: change the error message for missing tools
Given that some people appear to not read until the "is not installed" part of
the error message, let's reduce the error message to just that part. This may
be confusing where a user mistypes the actual command but that happens rarely
compared to those that can't run libinput record because it's in a different
package.
Fixes #500
