bitbake: cookerdata: Show a readable error for invalid multiconfig name

If a multiconfig starts with a digit, users would see pages of
errors as we use the multiconfig as a python function name prefix
and python functions cannot start with a digit. We could avoid doing
that but it is easier just to ask users to name multiconfigs not
starting with digits.

This tweak ensures the user sees an easier to understand error.
