Description

I had installed git to a location in my user app directory, so it did not end up in the PATH and Iris does not find it when kicking off `d ##class(SourceControl.Git.API).Configure()`

if I run `$zf(-100)` with `C:\full\path\to\bin\git.exe --version` from an Iris terminal, it can report back the version of git I have installed, even with it being installed in my user app directory.

However, when I provide that folder path to `Configure()`, it reports "You are now using (blank)".

I did not catch this as a problem at first and got really confused when I encountered `` errors later in the setup ([see here](https://github.com/intersystems/git-source-control/issues/462#issuecomment-2886913459)).

Inside `SourceControl.Git.Settings.ConfigureBinPath()` I see 2 potential improvements:

1. Check the return value of `GitBinExists(.version)`. If nothing is returned: raise alarm bells and hard quit out of the configure process (because the whole point of this module is to set up source control)
2. If the `..gitBinPath` property is not set, then the valid supplied `path` value is not actually saved into `@sysStorage`
