Improved error message for missing settings.php file

As written the error message for "missing settings.php" is confusing. The attached patch updates the text to read:

The file settings.php does not exist.
You must create a settings file before proceeding with the installation of Drupal. Copy the template settings file ./sites/default/default.settings.php to ./sites/default/settings.php.

The final para is also updated to read as follows:
Please fix the issues listed above and refresh your browser window. Additional information about installing Drupal is available in the file /INSTALL.txt.
