According to the AMQP spec, a message must have a body.
amqpnetlite and Azure Service Bus support non-compliant AMQP where a
message might have no body. RabbitMQ implements the AMQP spec correctly
requiring a message body. This commit provides a nice error description
if a client wrongly sends a message without a body.

(Note that transfer frames without payload are allowed though.)
