Description
At present when ManifestStaticFilesStorage finds a reference within a file to another file that does not exist in the static files. It throws an error that causes confusion. For example https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21080#comment:43
Whilenoise has already got a nice pattern to provide a clearer reason to the user so they can fix the issue easily.
The {ext} file '{filename}' references a file which could not be found:
{missing}
Please check the URL references in this {ext} file, particularly any
relative paths which might be pointing to the wrong location.
