#231: "buildable: False" should fail the current configuration

Comment (by duncan):
Another possibility is to deprecate buildable for this use case and add
`fail` instead which would provide an error message to indicate why a
particular configuration is not possible.
The semantics would be slightly different to `buildable: False`. It would
make configuring the whole package fail, not just disable building that
executable or library.
