Title: minor cleanup of DimensionMismatch error

* change field name from `name` to `msg` to align with other error types
The majority of `DimensionMismatch` errors do not return the original
method name so this is a bit of a misnomer
* change type of msg from `ASCIIString` -> `AbstractString` (closes #8984)
* Add convenience constructor `DimensionMismatch()` for the common case
where no error message is provided
