Special case error message when build fails on a very old package version #7035
Description
- We know very old package versions fail often fail to build due to outdated metadata and dependencies
- We generally know when a package version was published
- We get a ton of questions about this (e.g., Can't install wheel in working directory without specifying
./#6052 (comment))
Let's display a special message for these errors?

In particular, it would be nice to have a special error if the package version predates the release of the target Python version's first release candidate (like in #7183)
