[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Clarify the "failed to add target" errors.

Make the error message printed when addtarget fails consistent between
add.c, remove.c and sync.c.

The main problem was that the "failed to add target" in case of a removal
operation could sound confusing.
There was also a little output problem with -U ("failed" was missing).
