SI-6640 Better reporting of deficient classpaths.

In a55788e, StubSymbols were introduced to fail-slow when
the classpath was deficient. This allowed compilation to
succeed in cases when one didn't actually use the part of
class A which referred to some missing class B.

But a few problems were introduced.

Firstly, when the deferred error eventually happened, it was
signalled with abort(msg), rather than through a thrown
MissingRequirementError. The latter is desirable, as it doesn't
lead to printing a stack trace.

Second, the actual error message changed, and no longer
included the name of the class file that refers to the missing
class.

Finally, it seems that we can end up with a stub term symbol
in a situation where a class symbol is desired. An assertion
in the constructor of ThisType throws trips when calling .isClass,
before the useful error message from StubSymbol can be emitted.

This commit addresses these points, and rewords the error
a little to be more accessible. The last point is the most fragile
in this arrangement, there might be some whack-a-mole
required to find other places that also need this.
I don't see a clean solution for this, but am open to suggestions.

We should really build a facility in partest to delete
specified classfiles between groups in separate compilation
tests, in order to have tests for this. I'll work on that as a followup.

For now, here's the result of my manual testing:
