Description
Currently, if a test fails on django.TestCase.assertContains/assertNotContains(), Django says "Couldn't retrieve page: Response code was %d", which is an odd message if someone expects the response content is not a web page.
It took me about 2 minutes to comprehend this message the first time when I was working on a webapp that speaks JSON.
The message should use the word "content" instead of "page", it does make a difference.

Patch as written will break the tests in the regression test suite that check the exceptions that are raised by assert(Not)Contains.

Replace "page" with "content" in the assertContains failure msg.
