config.toml error reporting:

Improve error messages for musl-libdir and wasi-root keys. Previously
the parser would panic with `unwrap()`. Now it prints

      Target "wasm32-wasi" does not have a "wasi-root" key

(and similar for the `musl-libdir` field, which is used in target that
use musl)

Also update comments around wasi-root field to make it clear that the
field is only valid in wasm32-wasi target and needs to be moved to a
`[target.wasm32-wasi]` section to be valid.

Fixes rust-lang#82317
