textual: grammarize and harmonize the stat error message
The message "stat failed %s" seems to say that stat() failed to do something, or failed to pass a test, but of course it means that the statting of something failed. So say so. Also make two very similar messages equal to this one. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
