scons: Don't use PROTOC for the protoc command and to flag its presence.
Commands that blindly use PROTOC will try to execute "False" which is
very confusing for someone looking at the console output and error
messages. Instead, create a new environment setting HAVE_PROTOC which
is either true or false depending on if the protoc command exists and
passes muster.
Also, if there's an error running protoc, catch that and use it to
mark protoc as unavailable. The previous behavior was to supress errors
and just return an empty string instead, I assume with the expectation
that that would be an invalid version and fail later checks.
