Show error if trying to run from a remote buffer #90

In order to produce sensible results, exec-path-from-shell needs to run the shell on the same computer where Emacs is running. If we try to run it on a remote computer, we will likely mess up the local computer's path or fail to obtain a path altogether.

Good thinking, thanks!
