pola-run hangs when executable not found in PATH

If the executable filename is to be looked up in PATH (i.e. doesn't contain a '/'), but it can't be found in PATH, resolve_executable_name() does not terminate. Instead, it consumes unbounded memory and causes a denial of service.

This affects pola-run (C implementation) and pola-shell.
