Improve handling apps without migrations while running migrate command.

[Andriy Sokolovskiy]

Consider situation - ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-contrib-comments/1.5 does not have a migration inside.
It depends on Content-Type model.
So we get something like:

claudep: the traceback shows that the exception happens when syncing apps without migrations
[4:23pm] knbk: that "worked" with a big disclaimer on 1.7 but was unsupported, but somehow breaks on 1.8
[4:23pm] claudep: so the issue is "a unmigrated app depends on an app with migrations"

The error is django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "django_content_type" does not exist.
Steps to reproduce - simply add django_comments to clean project and run python manage.py migrate. (But, I can reproduce with on postgres, but not on sqlite for example).

We need to improve handling apps, that does not have a migration, and show more user-friendly error rather than throwing exception, which user must investigate.

Raising a meaningful error telling which app failed (maybe which SQL statement?) would be welcome.

I will work on patch

+1 This caused headaches because of the cryptic exception.

A way to get around it for now is in settings to comment out the apps without migrations folder. Then migrate, uncomment the conflicting apps and finally migrate again.

The situation has likely changed on master (1.9) now that migrations are compulsory for all apps.

I guess that boat has sailed now.
