Unclear error message for invalid extra-package-dbs

[pakanek]

Steps to reproduce Add invalid value to extra-package-dbs eg.

extra-package-dbs:
- ghc-datasize-0.1.2

stack build

Expected

Database 'ghc-datasize-0.1.2' does not exist

Actual

ghc-datasize-0.1.2: canonicalizePath: does not exist (No such file or directory)

$ stack --version
Version 1.0.2, Git revision fa09a980d8bb3df88b2a9193cd9bf84cc6c419b3 (3084 commits) x86_64

ghc-datasize belongs to extra-deps (my mistake). Error message does not tell you that stack is looking for database instead of package.

I think it makes sense to standardize have one "directory not found" exception, and share it everywhere.

There is a NoSuchDirectory constructor in Stack.Types.Config.ConfigException, but Stack.Config is not the only module that calls resolveDir/resolveDir':
