Share the stderr with the user, when non-zero exit code (#927)

* Share the stderr with the user, when failing a require_command() due to non-zero exit code.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Too long line.

* Just log at the place where the call is made.

* Undo added empty lines.

* Test for log-output in case of non-zero return code from a command.
