[feature] make system_requirements error logger more informative

See original GitHub issue

currently, error log looks like:

xorg/system: ERROR: while executing system_requirements(): Can't update because tools.system.package_manager:mode is 'check'.Please update packages manually or set 'tools.system.package_manager:mode' to 'install' in the [conf] section of the profile, or in the command line using '-c tools.system.package_manager:mode=install'
ERROR: Error in system requirements

If should contain a list, which packages are missing.

I’ve read the CONTRIBUTING guide.

Hi @GavinNL, If you also add -c tools.system.package_manager:sudo=True the package manager will be invoked with sudo:

conan install .. -c tools.system.package_manager:mode=install -c tools.system.package_manager:sudo=True

Hope this helps.

@AndreyMlashkin We have merged https://github.com/conan-io/conan/pull/11712 and will be released in 1.51, from that version you will see what packages are missing being in mode=check, so this should solve your issue.
