 Splitting this out from #47656.

 While there are cases where the admin notices error messages may
 legitimately use bold form ''some'' terms within the message, the whole
 message shouldn't be bold.

 The vast majority of the error admin notices are just text with a normal
 font weight. The `<strong>` element does add semantic (strong) emphasis
 but that's an addition that brings in very little vale. Visually: the bold
 message is inconsistent with most of the error admin notices.

 Some examples:

 {{{
 echo '<div class="error"><p><strong>' . __( 'You cannot install a network
 of sites with your server address.' ) . '</p></div>';
 }}}

 and


 {{{
 echo '<div class="error"><p><strong>' . __( 'The network could not be
 created.' ) . '</strong></p>';
 }}}


 These "all bold" admin notices should be adjusted to remove the all-bold
 effect.


 Worth also reminding the CSS class `class="error"` is legacy and should be
 replaced with `class="notice notice-error"`.
