status: Show friendly message for empty project. (#4609)

* status: Show friendly message for empty project.

When there are no stages in the repo, show a friendly message to that
effect and display a getting-started URL.

Fixes #4395.

* Fix style check failing due to line too long. (E501)

* Use format_link(…) as suggested by @skshetry, vs {blue}/{nc}.

Since I'd pulled the old syntax out of repo/init.py, I've fixed that up
as well so no one makes that mistake again. Note that this adds <>s around
the link text, unlike before:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

This is probably fine, since if we're going to have a standard link format
we might as well stick with it consistently. If we don't like it, we can
change format_link() I guess.

* Update dvc/command/status.py
