Clarify batch file ERROR: message

Browse Source 
Adding the name of the file which couldn't be read & a brief description of the option.

Just "ERROR: batch file could not be read" can be confusing for users who are inexperienced (and likely using Windows).

eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/cfl0ap/youtubedl_error_batch_file_could_not_be_read_how/
(The user specified option -audio-file, instead of --audio-file)
