fix: improve startup error message

Browse source 
Showing `user-init-file` in the startup message seems more confusing
than helpful, especially to beginners, as it's not a file they can (or
should) be editing to fix whatever caused the error. Plus, its value
could be `t` if the error happens late enough in the startup process,
which is even less helpful.
