[PATCH v2] scripts: generate_rust_analyzer: Add message to sysroot assertion

From: Maurice Hieronymus

Date: Sun Nov 30 2025 - 14:23:52 EST


The assertion that checks whether sysroot lies within sysroot_src
currently fails without explaining why. Add an error message that
prints both paths to make diagnosing toolchain issues easier.
