#16502: CreateView useless error message when template_name is not specified

According to documentation CreateView should use
`%app_name%/%model_name%_form.html` template by default. But if
template_name is not specified it returns uninformative error:
{{{

There is not anything except traceback on white background.
It will be cool if there will be default template for CreateView. If it
is not a bug then note that `template_name` is required would be useful.
