In ManyToManyField, if the `symmetrical` argument is passed, or if it's a
self-referential ManyToMany relationship, the related field on the target
model is not created. However, if a developer passes in the `related_name`
not understanding this fact, they may be confused until they find the
information about symmetrical relationship. Thus, it is proposed to raise
an error when the user defines a ManyToManyField in this condition.
