tweaks: make two error messages more succinct and easier to translate 

"Cannot map name %s to <thing>..." was unnecessarily verbose and vague.
I have kept these strings unchanged all these years because I didn't
want to invalidate the existing translations.  But now it's time to
harmonize things and simply say "Unknown <thing>: %s" for an invalid
function name, menu name, option name, and syntax name.

("No such <thing>: %s" is nice and snappy, but its translations often
are clumsy and longer and unclear.)
