Description

As we add datastores to syncstorage, we should make the DSN parse errors more consistent.
Right now, we display Spanner or SQLite database_url specified for MySQL feature, please correct. or whatever. Instead we should just use something like
Invalid DSN specified for {} feature, please correct: {} where we specify the feature type and the invalid DSN.

Research direction

Start by locating the DSN parsing entry point and the existing database-specific error messages. Update the errors to use one consistent format containing the feature type and invalid DSN, then run the relevant parser or datastore tests and verify each invalid DSN reports the new wording.
