Friendlier error message on missing package.json

[damassi]

Just saw your comment here and wanted to take for a spin! I too agree that Relay has some onboarding issues.

One issue I just encountered was after running npx @tobiastengler/create-relay-app and then getting the error Error: package.json file is missing. I initially thought that this would bootstrap whatever framework the user chose before setting up the Relay bits (eg, npx create-next-app), so seeing that issue was a bit confusing. Maybe something like

Error: package.json file is missing. Did you remember to setup <create-react-app|next|vite> before running this command?

Would fix the issue.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll incorporate it :)
