When a recipe is migrated to layout(), cpp_info.resdirs is empty by default instead of ["res"]. For most recipe it's fine and a good default, but few recipes now need to set this attribute explicitly.
I propose this hook:
Report an error if cpp_info.resdirs miss existing res or share folder in root package folder. Since conan v1 recipes always populate resdirs, this hook shouldn't break them.
bonus: if a recipe uses layout() (conan v2 recipes only), report an error if cpp_info.resdirs list non-existing folders.
