[SPARK-3140] Clarify confusing PySpark exception message

We read the py4j port from the stdout of the `bin/spark-submit` subprocess. If 
there is interference in stdout (e.g. a random echo in `spark-submit`), we 
throw an exception with a warning message. We do not, however, distinguish 
between this case from the case where no stdout is produced at all.

I wasted a non-trivial amount of time being baffled by this exception in search 
of places where I print random whitespace (in vain, of course). A clearer 
exception message that distinguishes between these cases will prevent similar 
headaches that I have gone through.

Closes #2067 from andrewor14/python-exception and squashes the following 
commits:

742f823 [Andrew Or] Further clarify warning messages
e96a7a0 [Andrew Or] Distinguish between unexpected output and no output at all
