Better output for bad target_name (was: Incorrect Error logs on v5.0.0)

See original GitHub issue

Node Version: 10.16.0
Platform: Windows10
Compiler: VS2019
Module: rebuild

example: https://github.com/Himself65/kcp-node/tree/bug, you can reproduce it with run yarn install or npm install

when building.gyp contains target_name char -, it shows the incorrect error logs.

{
  'targets': [
    {
      'target_name': 'kcp-',
      'sources': [ './lib/kcp-node.cc' ]
    }
  ]
}

and I think it should log like incorrect target_name format but it’s C++ grammar error, and coding is absolutely right
