Further enhance the check for needed tools:
- update the tool_pattern to use ' || ' as a pattern separator
- which allows using | in regexp
- add checks for cut and xargs
- manually check for grep and sed because they are needed when checking for tools
- print why a test failed, with each tested tool and regexp
- move tools checks before options parsing
- apply conttibutions before computing the version string
- inform user to run make && make install
