Raise error when loaded_at_field is None and metadata check isn't…

Previously if a source freshness check didn't have a `loaded_at_field` and
metadata source freshness wasn't supported by the adapter, then we'd log
a warning message and let the source freshness check continue. This was problematic
because the source freshness check couldn't actually continue and the process
would raise an error in the form
```
type object argument after ** must be a mapping, not NoneType
```
because the `freshness` variable was never getting set. This error wasn't particularly
helpful for any person running into it. So instead of letting that error
happen we now deliberately raise an error with helpful information.
