Subject: [PATCH] Provide and output proper existing error message

If the found plugin / package does not fulfill some specs (i.e. does not contain the keyword `homebridge-plugin`), it will be rejected with an error. Without that change nobody will be notified WHY the plugin has been rejected/skipped.
