fix: improve error message for initialize with missing Nonempty instance (#11919)
This PR improves the error message when `initialize` (or `opaque`) fails
to find an `Inhabited` or `Nonempty` instance.

**Before:**
```
failed to synthesize
  Inhabited Foo
```

**After:**
```
failed to synthesize 'Inhabited' or 'Nonempty' instance for
  Foo

If this type is defined using the 'structure' or 'inductive' command, you can try adding a 'deriving Nonempty' clause to it.
```
