Setting the `app_label` of an `AppConfig` object is allowed and fails
later on during migrations (`./manage.py migrate`) with `(too many values
to unpack)`.
It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was wrong, but it may
not be so obvious to an inexperienced user so it may be better to raise a
clearer exception.
Maybe we can use system checks and fail earlier if such a problem is
detected?
