scripts: Add sbom scancode-toolkit user info

[nicu1989]

Since scancode-toolkit is not part of ncs sdk anymore, the user needs to install scancode manually.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR adds user-friendly guidance for installing scancode-toolkit, which is no longer bundled with the NCS SDK. The change improves the error messaging when scancode is not found on the system.

Key Changes:

• Added detection to check if scancode executable exists before attempting to run it
• Provides clear installation instructions and troubleshooting steps when scancode is missing
