MAINT: improve error message when meson isn't found

There are several ways that meson may go missing:
- a non-isolated build and meson isn't installed
- meson executable is specified in pyproject.toml and git submodule
  is containing it is not initialized (reported as resulting in a
  confusing error in numpy#26397)
- MESON environmnent variable is used by the user and is misspelled

The git submodule case was ending with:
```
meson-python: error: Could not find meson version 0.63.3 or newer, found .
```
and after this ends with:
```
meson-python: error: Could not find the specified meson: "vendored-meson/meson/meson.py"
```

If the executable is missing, the build ended with a very long
traceback. Changing `FileNotFoundError` to `ConfigError` elides the
traceback and clearly reports that the executable wasn't found. Easy to
verify with any package with:
```
$ MESON=nonsense python -m build -wnx
* Building wheel...

meson-python: error: meson executable "nonsense" not found

ERROR Backend subproccess exited when trying to invoke build_wheel
```
