Do not check for existence of remote binaries

systemd-run would fail when run with -M or -H and an absolute path,
if this path did not exists locally. Allow it to continue, since we
don't have a nice way of checking if the binary exists remotely.

The case where -M or -H is used and a local path is unchanged, and we
still iterate over $PATH to find the binary. We need to convert to an
absolute path, and we don't have a nice mechanism to check remotely,
so we assume that the binary will be located in the same place locally
and remotely.
