Update error message when no outputs are defined 

Terraform can't tell the difference between an empty output and an
undefined output. This is often confusing for folks using interpolation.
As much as it would be great to fix upstream, changing this error
message to be a bit more helpful is a good stop-gap to avoid
frustration.
