Merge bitcoin#23579: script install_db4.sh check for patch command before continuing to install db4

7bb8eb0 script install_db4.sh added check for patch command (Nathan Garabedian)

Pull request description:

  First contribution.  I've read the CONTRIBUTING guide and hope I'm doing this correctly, but please kindly point out anything I should do differently.

  I found while running the contrib/install_db4.sh patch that it would fail suddenly with "patch: command not found".  I'd rather see it fail early before doing any work, allow me to install the `patch` command, and then run again.  (CentOS Linux) Here's a PR proposed to fix it.

  error message:
  ```
  ...
  db-4.8.30.NC/txn/txn_rec.c
  db-4.8.30.NC/txn/txn_region.c
  db-4.8.30.NC/txn/txn_stat.c

  ./contrib/install_db4.sh: line 71: patch: command not found
