Description

Hot Chocolate
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I often get error messages like this:
The specified directive `@myDirective` is unique and cannot be added twice. (My.Type)
The solution you'd like
Give me more information to go on, such as which field this applies to:
The specified directive `@myDirective` is unique and cannot be added twice. (My.Type.Property)
(Other better solutions may exist.)
Otherwise, if adding a large object with many properties, I have to spend an unnecessarily large amount of time hunting around to figure out where the error is.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the Hot Chocolate code and tests that format duplicate-constraint or directive errors; done means the diagnostic identifies the affected field path, such as My.Type.Property, and the relevant tests pass.
