Passing an invalid flavor to read_html prints the wrong error message

[achabotl]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df_list = pd.read_html('https://google.com', flavor='unknown')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/achabot/envs/tmp-b79b7181308bb9c1/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 987, in read_html
    displayed_only=displayed_only)
  File "/Users/achabot/envs/tmp-b79b7181308bb9c1/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 787, in _parse
    flavor = _validate_flavor(flavor)
  File "/Users/achabot/envs/tmp-b79b7181308bb9c1/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/html.py", line 782, in _validate_flavor
    valid=_print_as_set(valid_flavors)))
ValueError: {arg} is not a valid set of flavors, valid flavors are {arg}

Problem description

The error message should show the flavor selected and the valid choices. It's happenning on this line below, and it's a regression from previous versions, which used %-formatting and worked properly.

pandas/pandas/io/html.py

Line 857 in de39bfc

return '{{arg}}'.format(arg=', '.join(pprint_thing(el) for el in s))

We actually have a test for this, but we don't check the error message. Oops.
