Distinguish EjecaSpawnError from EjecaError

Summary:
There's two error types from Ejeca:
1. a command spawns then exits non-zero
2. a command does not spawn (syscall to spawn fails)

(1) is what we typically think of as an EjecaError, and contains most normal errors.

(2) can happen with ENOENT if `sl` or other commands like `gh` are not on your PATH.

The distinction is important for good error messages. Let's make them separate types to keep these separate.
