Improve Errors for Transitive Rules

See original GitHub issue

Description of the feature request:

improve errors in transitive rules

what we get:

ERROR: /usr/local/google/home/aryehh/Development/cloud-spanner-emulator/binaries/BUILD:23:10: While resolving toolchains for target //binaries:emulator_main: invalid registered toolchain '@rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains:linux_commands': error loading package '@rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains': at /usr/local/google/home/aryehh/.cache/bazel/_bazel_aryehh/432487528c3e0374d8bae32ea74d9eb8/external/rules_foreign_cc/tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains/defs.bzl:6:6: at /usr/local/google/home/aryehh/.cache/bazel/_bazel_aryehh/432487528c3e0374d8bae32ea74d9eb8/external/commands_overloads/toolchain_data_defs.bzl:3:6: compilation of module 'windows_commands.bzl' failed

what might be more ideal:

ERROR: /usr/local/google/home/aryehh/Development/cloud-spanner-emulator/binaries/BUILD:23:10: While resolving toolchains for target //binaries:emulator_main: invalid registered toolchain

@sgowroji I think that this issue is still valid. It isn’t tied to a particular project, it’s just about better error messages. @gregestren who I think has an ongoing project for more beautiful error messages.
