Cleaner error message when the server is not installed - closes #1031 - #1396

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change centralises PostgreSQL executable discovery. It validates configured and discovered paths, reports ChangesPostgreSQL executable discovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR improves the server-not-installed diagnostic, but the current error path may still provide insufficient detail for troubleshooting, and a whitespace-only bindir response should be verified to avoid incorrect executable discovery. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@pytest_postgresql/factories/process.py`:
- Around line 64-86: Update _pg_ctl_missing_message so the bindir=None branch
only states that pg_config could not be used to locate PostgreSQL binaries,
without claiming that no PostgreSQL installation exists. Preserve the existing
message for a successfully reported bindir and the remainder of the remediation
guidance.
In `@tests/test_pg_exe.py`:
- Around line 113-120: Update the error parameter values in the
pytest.mark.parametrize declaration to use a list instead of a tuple, preserving
the existing FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, and CalledProcessError cases so
the module satisfies Ruff PT007.
