gpdb: gpinitstandby error logging when rsync is missing

As discussed in #7753, gpinitstandby fails with a non-obvious error when the rsync binary is not in PATH. Either the logging should be improved, or there should be an explicit check for rsync being available.

It at least seems clear that we can remove the rsync dependency without feeling too bad about it. Thanks for investigating!
