add context to "Data source name not found..." error #840

Rather than sending folks out to the "Data source name not found" google search results, we could refer to the revamped odbcListDataSources docs as a more beginner-accessible starting place to start debugging.

This is stepping a bit further into the territory of "patching" uninformative error messages from the driver manager and driver. Understood if we feel this is outside of the scope of the package.
