Better error messages when parameters passed to arrow result in invalid configuration

I'd like arrow to provide better error messages when an error occur. It wasn't vocal enough and it was hard to understand the cause for the failure.

For example, I wrote a yui test but accidentally passed --engine mocha. Arrow timed out after a minute and showed the following text from the console:

[LOG] [LOG]

It took me a long time to understand the mistake. Arrow should be more vocal when users pass command line parameters that result in bad configuration.

I think a similar problem occurs if you pass an invalid path to --engineConfig for example.

Thanks for reporting this, makes total sense. We will add these error checks to v0.6 release.
