I am new to Yocto/OpenEmbedded and compiled poky by following the Yocto
"Quick Build" guide. I later tried to call runqemu
from a terminal different to the one I ran the compilation in
and runqemu was not found.
Wondering why it was not found, I ran it directly as `./scripts/runqemu`,
which was a misconception I had because you are supposed to have
`oe-init-build-env` sourced. However, there was no error that told me
this when running runqemu like I did. So I thought it would be
good to add this error message to notify the user that bitbake
was not found. At least it would have helped me and saved me
some minutes of head scratching.

changes in v2:
Changed the position according to suggestion by Alexander Kanavin.
I also changed the error to OEPathError as this seems to be made for
this exact situation.
