[OE-core] [PATCH V2] devshell: list commands when throwing NoSupportedTerminals

[Stephano Cetola]

When attempting to run devshell, if no terminal is available, the
error being thrown was not very specific. This adds a list of
commands that failed, informing the user of what they can install to
fix the error.
