Donncha Ó Cearbhaill efbab29f94 Skip modules with unavailable dependencies instead of aborting the run
A module declaring a dependency its command does not provide made
_ordered_modules() give up on the whole run, so a single wrong declaration
in a module scoped to several commands turned a forensic analysis into
zero executed modules with one warning to explain it.

Drop only the modules that cannot run: the one with the unavailable
dependency, and anything depending on it. Each gets its own warning naming
the module missing a dependency and the dependency it is missing, and the
remaining modules run in the same stable topological order as before. A
cycle in the dependency graph is still a programming error and still stops
the run.
