Subject: [PATCH] chore: make CLI error message more descriptive (#32593)

Summary:
motivation: I have a custom setup and needed to provide `react.cliPath`. I mistakenly provided path to `react-native-community/cli` which resulted into JS bundle not being generated. This error message provides a little more detail.
