[SPARK-23452][SQL] improve missing field error message in `StructType` ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? The error message ```s"""Field "$name" does not exist."""``` is thrown when looking up an unknown field in StructType. In the error message, we should also contain the information about which columns/fields exist in this struct. ## How was this patch tested? Added new unit tests. Note: I created a new `StructTypeSuite.scala` as I couldn't find an existing suite that's suitable to place these tests. I may be missing something so feel free to propose new locations.
