We don't have a very consistent style.  A quick glance at virErrorMsg
shows that maybe half of the messages start lower-case, and the other
half start upper-case.  GNU style recommends that error messages start
with lower-case letters (unless the first word is an acronym, such as in
the error _("GET operation failed") for VIR_ERR_GET_FAILED), and
although this is not a GNU project, there is something to be said for
consistency.

Is it worth a separate patch to make error message consistently start
with lower-case?  maint.mk even has a syntax-check rule that we can use
to help in this regards (sc_error_message_uppercase), although we are
not currently using it.

At any rate, capitalization can be a separate cleanup patch, so ACK to
this one.
