Add a helpful message when running tests with models without migrations

[Chris Adams]

Prior to Django 1.7, you could create a new app and run tests immediately:

django-admin.py startapp new_app
… add a model & test …
django-admin.py test

Since Django 1.7, however, if you don't run makemigrations first the tests will fail in a manner which doesn't give any indication of what you can do to fix it. setup_databases() will eventually fail with a "OperationalError: no such table" for every model which doesn't have an initial migration.

I'm filing this under documentation because the easiest path to solve it would be updating the startapp and running tests docs to add a prominent notice somewhere that you must run makemigrations before you can run any tests but if there's a clean way to do it having setup_databases catch this and give a helpful message would probably save people some searching.

It seems better to exit with a helpful message rather than have to lookup some documentation.

Ended up looking at this as part of my PyConAU yak shaving.

Let me know if anyone has any questions, e.g. it took my aging 2011 Macbook Air an extra ~17 seconds to run the has_unmigrated_models before it was renamed to check_unmigrated_models and some further refactoring applied. I also haven't thought about things like any possible interactions with things like --keepdb, just run it against the full test suite under Python 3.4.
