More specific KIO Error Strings

At the moment the KIO error messages are limited to the pre-definded
messages in KIO::buildErrorString(int errorCode, const QString
&errorText). The errorText doesen't contain a full description of the
problem, but rather the host-name or file-name to be inserted into the
pre-definded messages. I wonder if it would make sense to allow slaves
to construct error messages themselves. This would be particularly
useful when porting KIO to VFS-systems which already provide such full
(and translated) error messages.
My proposal would be that KIO::buildErrorString() just returns the
errorText when it is prefixed with something like "{vendor} ".
That way we could also communicate the identity of the actual VFS-system
vendor.
