Description
It is possible to have duplicate model names across your project (which is a good thing). However, it currently results in some ambiguous error messages when validating admin classes.
For example:
'MembershipAdmin.raw_id_fields' refers to field 'user_id' that is missing from model 'Membership'.
... does that refer to my Membership class in my "foo" app or my "bar" app?
The attached patch includes the app label in the error messages. For example:
'MembershipAdmin.raw_id_fields' refers to field 'user_id' that is missing from model 'bar.Membership'.

You can simplify to unicode(model._meta) which makes this a bit shorter.

Updated patch so that modeladmin tests also pass. I also tried approach suggested by Alex and abandoned it because unicode() repr of model lowercases the model, making it harder to grep for errors.
Could you provide some tests for this?
