#12285: Confusing error message when ModelForm does not have model set

When instantiating a {{{ModelForm}}} whose {{{Meta.model}}} has not been
set (i.e. the {{{ModelForm}}} class was extended instead of {{{Form}}}),
the exception message is:
{{{'NoneType' object is not callable}}}
This message originates from {{{django/forms/models.py in __init__ line
218}}} that says {{{self.instance = opts.model()}}}.
Adding an {{{if}}} there with a decent message such as {{{"Model class not
set for ModelForm"}}} would be the fix.
