Rollup merge of rust-lang#107397 - Teapot4195:issue-107392-fix, r=albertlarsan68

Gracefully exit if --keep-stage flag is used on a clean source tree

Instead of quitting with an obscure No such file or directory error, give the user a clearer and easier to understand error (as well as suggesting a possible cause for the error).

This is the first time I have written rust since 2020, and the first PR I will ever make to rust, so please do point out any mistakes I have made 😄 .

This fixes rust-lang#107392
