Gentoo user-packages: skip package if binary exists but not in portage

Browse source 
Some packages on tadbit have binaries installed OUTSIDE portage
(bat was installed by cargo earlier; eza/fd from a previous run
that the script didn't track). qlist -I correctly reports them as
not-in-portage, but command -v <bin> finds them on PATH.

Without this guard, every apply would re-emerge these packages,
causing spurious failures (e.g. 'there are no ebuilds to satisfy
app-text/bat' even though /usr/bin/bat works fine).

The detection now does:
  1. If qlist reports the package is in portage: skip
  2. If the binary is on PATH: log + skip
  3. Otherwise: add to MISSING_PKGS

Same fix applied to the GURU_MISSING detection.
