[lldb] Correct style of error messages (#156774)

The LLVM Style Guide says the following about error and warning messages
[1]:

> [T]o match error message styles commonly produced by other tools,
> start the first sentence with a lowercase letter, and finish the last
> sentence without a period, if it would end in one otherwise.

I often provide this feedback during code review, but we still have a
bunch of places where we have inconsistent error message, which bothers
me as a user. This PR identifies a handful of those places and updates
the messages to be consistent.
