217: check.sh: find Godot 4 executable when available as `godot` r=Bromeon a=yannick-was-taken

# The Issue

Some package managers (Arch Linux) install Godot 4.x as `godot` in the PATH. This is currently not correctly dealt with by check.sh, requiring the user to set GODOT4_BIN manually.

# The Solution

If `godot` is available, `check.sh` now inspects the version of that Godot installation, and if 4.x, accepts it gladly, removing the need to manually set GODOT4_BIN.

# Detail

The version check applies the regex `^4\.` to the version returned by `godot --version`. An example version (the one available in Arch Linux's community repo) is `4.0.1.stable.arch_linux`.
