cli: check deployment exists before monitoring (#10757)

System and batch jobs don't create deployments, which means nomad tries
to monitor a non-existent deployment when it runs a job and outputs an
error message. This adds a check to make sure a deployment exists before
monitoring. Also fixes some formatting.
