 I18N: Remove the "Error:" prefix from error messages.

 For a number of years, most of the WordPress error messages have been
 prefixed with "Error:". However, these messages appear in a context where
 it's already clear an error occurred. Whether it's an error, a warning, or
 any other classification, that's not so relevant for users. The content of
 the message is the relevant part. The "Error:" prefix doesn't add great
 value while it does add unnecessary complexity for the message
 readability.

 Also, revises some of these messages to improve clarity and removes HTML
 from translatable strings.

 See #47003, #43037, #42945, #15887.
 Fixes #47656.
