Expected Behavior

The message should be understandable by those who attempt the build.

For instance: "Can't create cryptographic PGP signatures for my-app.zip because .... Please follow ...docs.gradle.org... to find how to configure the signing keys"

Current Behavior

Cannot perform signing task ':signArchives' because it has no configured signatory

In practice, the ones who launch ./gradlew build have absolutely no idea what signatory is, they have no idea why the signatory must be configured and so on.

Context

"no configured signatory" is quite popular on Google.
