Log SQL server name when throwing network-related or instance-specific errors

When the AF Server throws a network-related or instance-specific SQL error it only says that it failed to establish a connection to "SQL Server". It further says to check if the instance name is correct. However, it never says to what SQL server instance the connection attempt was made. This can be a vital piece of information in troubleshooting these kind of errors.
