Issue body

### What needs to get done In the craft-application branch, `_resolve_project_path` should error more cleanly if we can't find `snapcraft.yaml`, alerting the user with a nice error message that links to documentation ### Why it needs to get done The behaviour right now could be unclear to an end user.
