apt: show more informative messages if "repository has no release file"

During repository updates & cleanup there can be a short period of time
when repository metadata is not consistent. There may appear an error
like

 E: The repository 'https://termux.org/package stable Release' does not have a Release file.
 N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
 N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

but it may not be clear for some users what can cause the issue.

This commit improves the situation a bit.
