check_status fails if driver doesn't provide details

What steps will reproduce the problem?

It's a bit tricky - it depends on the driver you're using.
1. I've been using solidDB (IBM)
2. Connect to the DB with readonly=True (or do any activity for which the 
driver reports an error but doesn't return info)
3. Inner exception occurs (list index out of range)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

    Using the same parameters, pyodbc raise pyodbc.Error('HY000', 'The driver did not supply an error!')
    (I expect them act similarly, or at list report that there is no error supplied)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

    pypyodbc-1.3.1 to connect to SolidDB with unixODBC

Please provide any additional information below.

I think that solidDB doesn't support readonly attribute. In pyodbc the 
SQLSetConnectAttr for readonly is only called when readonly=True, so it's not a 
problem. In pyodbc it's always called, which is why trying to connect to solid 
fails.

The state that SQLGetDiagRec returns in ctrl_err is 00000, and the message is 
empty. The return code is SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND, but since it's the first time it 
is called, it fails.
