expand wikicode in 'Cite_error_refs_without_references_category'

The English Wikipedia version of the message invokes a Scribunto module, thus making noreferences.py fail with pywikibot.InvalidTitle (because of the curly brackets in it) when called with no arguments: https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/31712965

Ideally, the 'amenableparser' argument should be passed to the allmessages API, but APISite.mediawiki_messages() doesn't have this feature yet.
