Writing foo.1.2.3 as a package dependency should give a nice error and a hint #9270

In opam the convention is to write foo.1.2.3 for a package version. For new users, it is not obvious that this doesn't work in Dune immediately. They may try something like this in dune-project:

(lang dune 3.13)
(package
 (name invalid)
 (depends foo.1.2.3))

Currently we raise an ugly uncaught exception when runnning dune pkg lock:

  Error: exception Failure("Invalid character in package name \"foo.1.2.3\"")

the reproduction case is in #9269. We should instead raise a nice user message with a hint with something like:

Hint: replace "foo.1.2.3" with "(foo (= 1.2.3))".

We don't even validate the package name at all when running dune build. The reproduction case can be found in #9271.

CHANGES:

### Added

- Add command `dune cache clear` to completely delete all traces of the Dune
  cache. (ocaml/dune#8975, @nojb)

- Allow to disable Coq 0.8 deprecation warning (ocaml/dune#9439, @ejgallego)

- Allow `OCAMLFIND_TOOLCHAIN` to be set per context in the workspace file
  through the `env` stanza. (ocaml/dune#9449, @rgrinberg)

- Menhir: generate `.conflicts` file by default. Add new field to the
  `(menhir)` stanza to control the generation of this file: `(explain <blang
  expression>)`. Introduce `(menhir (flags ...) (explain ...))` field in the
  `(env)` stanza, delete `(menhir_flags)` field. All changes are guarded under
  a new version of the Menhir extension, 3.0. (ocaml/dune#9512, @nojb)

- Directory targets can now be cached. (ocaml/dune#9535, @rleshchinskiy)

- It is now possible to use special forms such as `(:include)` and variables
  `%{read-lines:}` in `(modules)` and similar fields. Note that the
  dependencies introduced in this way (ie the files being read) must live in a
  different directory than the stanza making use of them. (ocaml/dune#9578, @nojb)

- Remove warning 30 from default set for projects where dune lang is at least
  3.13 (ocaml/dune#9568, @gasche)

- Add `coqdoc_flags` field to `coq` field of `env` stanza allowing the setting
  of workspace-wide defaults for `coqdoc_flags`. (ocaml/dune#9280, fixes ocaml/dune#9139, @Alizter)

- ctypes: fix an error where `(ctypes)` with no `(function_description)` would
  cause an error trying refer to a nonexistent `_stubs.a` dependency (ocaml/dune#9302,
  fix ocaml/dune#9300, @emillon)

### Changed

- Check that package names in `(depends)` and related fields in `dune-project`
  are well-formed. (ocaml/dune#9472, fixes ocaml/dune#9270, @ElectreAAS)

### Fixed

- Do not ignore `(formatting ..)` settings in context or workspace files
  (ocaml/dune#8447, @rgrinberg)

- Fixed a bug where Dune was incorrectly parsing the output of coqdep when it
  was escaped, as is the case on Windows. (ocaml/dune#9231, fixes ocaml/dune#9218, @Alizter)

- Copying mode for sandboxes will now follow symbolic links (ocaml/dune#9282, @rgrinberg)

- Forbid the empty `(binaries ..)` field in the `env` stanza in the workspace
  file unless language version is at least 3.2.

- [coq] Fix bug in computation of flags when composed with boot theories.
  (ocaml/dune#9347, fixes ocaml/dune#7909, @ejgallego)

- Fixed a bug where the `(select)` field of the `(libraries)` field of the
  `(test)` stanza wasn't working properly. (ocaml/dune#9387, fixes ocaml/dune#9365, @Alizter)

- Fix handling of the `PATH` argument to `dune init proj NAME PATH`. An
  intermediate directory called `NAME` is no longer created if `PATH` is
  supplied, so `dune init proj my_project .` will now initialize a project in
  the current working directory. (ocaml/dune#9447, fixes ocaml/dune#9209, @shonfeder)

- Experimental doc rules: Correctly handle the case when a package depends upon
  its own sublibraries (ocaml/dune#9461, fixes ocaml/dune#9456, @jonludlam)

- Resolve various public binaries to their build location, rather than to where
  they're copied in the `_build/install` directory (ocaml/dune#9496, fixes ocaml/dune#7908,
  @rgrinberg).

- Correctly ignore warning flags in vendored projects (ocaml/dune#9515, @rgrinberg)

- Use watch exclusions in watch mode on MacOS (ocaml/dune#9643, fixes ocaml/dune#9517,
  @PoorlyDefinedBehaviour)

- Fix merlin configuration for `(include_subdirs qualified)` modules (ocaml/dune#9659,
  fixes ocaml/dune#8297, @rgrinberg)

- Fix handling of `enabled_if` in binary install stanzas. Previously, we'd
  ignore the result of `enabled_if` when evaluating `%{bin:..}` (ocaml/dune#9707,
  @rgrinberg)
