Description

When targets fail to build because it can't find a viable generator transformation we give a rather terse warning about it:

`warn: Unable to construct some/project/target`

[This message](https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/build/targets.jam#L1556) needs provide way more information as to what is going on so that users can resolve the problem.
