When an entry in the `extends` array doesn't contain a `.` and doesn't match known ESLint prefixes (`eslint:` or `plugin:`), it is heuristically skipped as a potential named config. Previously this was completely silent, which confused users who had typos or invalid entries. Now emits a warning for these entries so users know they are being skipped and can fix the config. Known ESLint prefixes are still skipped silently since they are clearly intentional. Also fixed the dead `Path::starts_with` checks (PathBuf component matching, not string prefix matching) by converting to string first. Fixes oxc-project#20831

Switch from warning to hard error when unsupported named configs (e.g., "prettier", "eslint:recommended", "plugin:unicorn/recommended") appear in extends. Since oxlint doesn't auto-discover ESLint config files, any named config in extends is either a mistake or a leftover from ESLint migration. Removes the warnings field from ConfigStoreBuilder and the eprintln loop in lint.rs, fixing the clippy::print_stderr lint failure.

Fixes #20831
Previously, when an entry in the
extendsarray looks like a named config (no.in the path), oxlint silently skips it. This is confusing when the entry is a typo or invalid value, since no error or warning is shown.This PR corrects this behaviour, and now emits an error for any extends values that are invalid.
