Clarify NoReverseMatch error message when view is not found

Description

If no view is found for a specific view name, the error message contains the somewhat cryptic clue "0 pattern(s) tried: []". If you're not aware what this means, this can easily throw you off the right track to fixing this issue. Over the years I've seen a decent number of SO questions about NoReverseMatch errors that seem to miss this fact.

I think we should clarify the error message when no view is found so it is clear the error is in the view name, not in the arguments.
