Exit out if nvidia-smi is not present in PATH for production mode. #26

  1. nvidiagpubeat can be run in production mode.
  2. In case nvidia-smi is not in PATH, then throw appropriate error message and exit

Possible solution

  1. gpu.go command() must return err object for above scenario. 2.metrics.go must check on error and work accordingly. 
    
if err != nil return err ```
