analyzer_testing: improve error message when trying to use built-in mocks

Work towards https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/61597

The analyzer_testing package's mock packages are "data" or "resource"
files which are notoriously hard to find on disk. No dart tooling I
know of can give me "the root directory of a package which is
referenced in a Dart program via "package:". Konstantin notes that
a program may be compiled ahead of time, and so the running VM itself
does not know where source files originally came from.

When users of the analyzer_testing package try to use
`addFlutterPackageDep` in a test, which attempts to locate the Dart
SDK's `pkg/` root directory, they get a StateError. This CL adds more
information and context to that error.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
