Resolve "More descriptive error messages in Migration Helpers"
What does this MR do?
Improve the error messages for GitLab custom migration helpers to point out certain failures due to schema inconsistencies. For example: A migration attempts to rename a column, but for some reason the old column doesn't exist. The current behavior displays an error message of undefined method
type' for nil:NilClass`. This MR changes that to display a more useful error message that highlights the underlying schema problem and a possible resolution.
