dub run <package> should search the registry on failure #877

Description

@wilzbach

Imho the following error message is a bit tricky to newcomers:

> dub run dlang-tour
Failed to find a package named 'dlang-tour'.

There are two easy solutions to this problem:

  1. print a hint like 'Have you downloaded the package? Try dub fetch <pkg>
  2. Automatically try to run dub fetch if dub run fails to find a package locally (preferred)

What do you prefer?
