patch 8.2.3069: error messages are spread out

Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/108010aa4720ef023a8ac59004fc0f2bc11125af
Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
Date:   Sun Jun 27 22:03:33 2021 +0200

    patch 8.2.3069: error messages are spread out

    Problem:    Error messages are spread out.
    Solution:   Move some error messages to errors.h.  Use clearer names.
