artemp/mapnik — Issue #633: MetaWriter error message doesn't specify origin

Creating a MetaWriter in an XML map definition with type="" or any other input than the currently-supported type="json" will produce the error message

{{{
Unknown type ''
}}}

which can be a little confusing in large mapfiles (and I think that type is used elsewhere, like in MarkerSymbolizer).

This patch simply adds 'in MetaWriter' to that message.

Also, should there be a MetaWriters component for tickets?
