AddSet, RemoveSet, UniteSet, IntersectSet, SubtractSet now print a helpful error if the first argument is not mutable, or not a set.

I would argue that this resolves #3597 but not everybody might agree with that? @ChrisJefferson ?

I think this is fine, and sufficient to close #3597

Issue #3597 raises ideas about more general solutions to improving error messages in the case that incorrect arguments are given, but I think that's beyond the scope of the issue, and anyway, it's a big topic and one that's not going to be forgotten when #3597 in particular gets closed.

AddSet, UniteSet, etc. could give more helpful error message if the list argument is not mutable
