Connection error message changes for gg, and a few other strings changes. * Short connection error messages (phrases and short sentences) should not end in a period. This is kind of arbitrary, but I did comparisons both ways and I thought short messages looked a lot better without the period. Less cluttered, more approachable. * Connection error messages should not have trailing newlines--the UI should add a newline if it wants. * Change "token" to "captcha" in the input box prompts when creating a new account. Captcha is an increasingly common term for this. Not all users will know what it means, but "token" is not a whole lot better. And users should be able to figure out what to do using context clues, regardless of the term used. I believe we use the same term in QQ. * Put the output of g_strerror(errno) in the message when possible
