jade 686120ee4a fix: good errors for failures caused by allowSubstitutes
This caused an absolute saga which I would not like anyone else to have
to experience. Let's put in a laser targeted error message that
diagnoses this exact problem.

# Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
# Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.
