ENH: error on failure to map installed files into wheel directories

Turn the warning emitted so far into an hard error: warnings are easy
to miss when building packages containing many files and the reason
for missing files in the installed wheel can be hard to track down.

Remove the message suggesting that a missing installation path
placeholder in a Meson installation path is a Meson bug: this can be
caused by the user using absolute paths as installation directories,
for example using py.get_path() instead of py.get_install_dir().
