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.
