Title:
  Terse error message when package cannot be found

Status in Snapcraft:
  Fix Released
Status in snapcraft package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in snapcraft source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in snapcraft source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I typo'ed the nonexistent libcap instead of libcap2 in stage-packages.
  The resulting error message (snapcraft 2.7) wasn't helpful:

  ev@elsa:~/branches/whoopsie/snappy$ snapcraft

  libcap

  [Impact]

   * There is no error when the package doesn't exist.

   * What snapcraft does is confusing and leads to wasted time trying to
  understand what was wrong.

  [Test Case]

   * Create an snapcraft.yaml with an unexisting stage-package.
   * Run snapcraft.
   * Verify that the error is clear.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Existing stage packages could be affected. Run snapcraft with an
  existing package to confirm it still works.
