Error message can be misleading if spring.config.import fails to resolve

[philwebb]

See #35683.

Given:

spring.config.import = exmple:some-path

We'll get the error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: File extension is not known to any PropertySourceLoader. If the location is meant to reference a directory, it must end in '/' or File.separator

Which is somewhat misleading.

Thanks for the offer, @ramanpopli. Unfortunately, I think this one will be quite tricky to fix and we're not yet really sure how to do it. If you’d like to work on an issue where we provide some guidance, please watch for one labelled as ideal for contribution or, if you haven’t contributed before, first-timers only.
