Cosmetic fix to failed required dependency reporting

As mentioned in #4407, if dependency('boost') fails, the error message
is 'Dependency "boost" not found, tried' (sic).

Similar to line 1451 above, suppress reporting the tried methods
returned by log_tried(), if the list is empty (as is the case with
boost)
