Throw error on build if 'name' in Module Federation config does not match a project name

[pcurrivan]

• I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

The name field in module-federation.config.js is used to search the project dependency graph to find project dependencies, which are used to generate shared module configuration for webpack. If the name does not match a project name, currently an empty set of dependencies is returned without error, resulting in no libraries being configured for sharing. Instead, an error should be thrown.

Motivation

This will enforce that the name field must match a project name and prevent hard-to-debug module federation issues.

Suggested Implementation

In getModuleFederationConfig, before calling getDependentPackagesForProject, check if mfConfig.name is a key in the projectGraph. If not, throw an error and abort the build.
