Check that pure-rust-build software is minimal

This verifies the absence of utilities and libraries `max-pure`
should not need, but that are needed for building `max`.

When `pure-rust-build` was introduced in ed4deac (GitoxideLabs#624), the goal
was to test that a C toolchain was not needed. Currently, we are
installing a C toolchain, by installing `gcc` and `libc-dev`, so
that the Rust toolchain will use the linker, which it may invoke
through `cc`/`gcc`. Nonetheless, the test is effective, as verified
in GitoxideLabs#1664, becuase it uses an environment free of several packages
that `max-pure` would likely inadverently require for building, if
it failed to be "pure".

Utilities could, in principle, be installed as part of a package
other than the package(s) that usually provide them. So a `$PATH`
search is performed. However, `libssl-dev` is a library (and more
libraries might be listed in the future), with no executable tool
to do a `$PATH` search for. Furthermore, it may be possible for a
utility to be installed, such that software in a Rust toolchain
might find and use it, while not being in a `$PATH` directory. So
this checks for known DEB packages as well as searching `$PATH`.
