Cargo should abort with one error when target does not exist

[Alvenix]

Code

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

Current output

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`
  |
  = note: the `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` target may not be installed
  = help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu`

error: cannot find macro `println` in this scope
 --> src/main.rs:2:5
  |
2 |     println!("Hello, world!");
  |     ^^^^^^^

error: requires `sized` lang_item

Desired output

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`

  = note: the `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` target may not be installed

Rationale and extra context

When you have a lot of code or using a lot of crates the first line get covered by the terminal and you get mystified. For example adding a dependency increase the number of error lines a lot, few more dependencies and it will get over the terminal scroll limit.

Some errors have detailed explanations: E0405, E0463.
For more information about an error, try `rustc --explain E0405`.
error: could not compile `pin-project-lite` due to 9 previous errors
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...

Anything else?

Sometimes when compiling for a target that is not installed, a long list errors is printed. The user won’t know the reason he cannot scroll up past the terminal limit.

If possible, I think it will be easier if cargo prints that the target does not exist.

I have been bitted by this issue few times, and I had to help people with this issue.

Thank you, I am closing the issue because it is duplicate.
