On systems which don't implement sys_execveat(), this test produces a
lot of output.
Add a check at the beginning to see if the syscall is present, and if
not just note one error and return.
When we run on a system that doesn't implement the syscall we will get
ENOSYS back from the kernel, so change the logic that handles
__NR_execveat not being defined to also use ENOSYS rather than -ENOSYS.

v2: Switch to positive ENOSYS. Confirmed this works as expected in the
case where the syscall is defined, but then is not present at runtime.
