gn error should use the canonical representation of a target when it is missing from the deps.

Project Member Reported by lpromero@chromium.org, Jan 20 2017

Issue description

chromium.git@96139bc2addb

When a gn target is missing a dependency, the error messages usually says something like:
Missing dependency on //foo:foo.

So the fix is adding (//foo) in the deps. Could the error message use the canonical version of the deps and say something like:
Missing dependency on //foo.
