#51571: Output visible error when npm package is missing a dependency

 If a block-editor related package is missing a dependency, things silently
 fail with no visible pointer to the problem. A case in point is the recent
 `@wordpress/reusable-blocks` package that was split out from
 `@wordpress/editor`. Updating the npm packages caused a WSOD on the
 editor, with no indication of what was wrong.

 There should be some error message in this situation that can help us
 debug it.
