nixos/manual: improve error message for invalid values in `relatedPackages'
As reported in NixOS discourse[1], tracking down invalid values in
`relatedPackages'[2] (i.e. list-items that don't exist in `pkgs`) is
fairly hard as the message "Invalid package attribute path `foobar'"
is quite unhelpful and the trace doesn't point to the source of the
problem either.

This patch improves the error message by mentioning that the issue is an
invalid `relatedPackages`-declaration in $optionName.
