Provde a better error message on missing template directory

[Giampaolo Rodolà]

=== Steps to reproduce the problem ===

In a working grok application add the following line at the top of application main module:

grok.templatedir("i-do-not-exist")

=== Result ===

The error message printed when the server is restarted is the one pasted below.
"View <class 'bgb.app.Index'> has no associated template or 'render' method." doesn't really say something about what actually happened (missing directory).

Hello,

there is a branch for grokcore.view which has a different implementation of the TemplateRegistry stuff. I suggest we wait for the merge
and after this we will look into being more verbose with missing directories.

Also, it would be good if exception gets raised *when grok.templatedir("i-do-not-exist") is called* and not later (as it happens right now).
This way the traceback message will include the actual instruction wich caused the error at the top of the stack.

it took a while, but it is fixed now.
