Clarify use of contractions in diagnostic messages (#116803)

This dissuades contributors from using contractions when writing
diagnostic wording for Clang. Contractions should be avoided because of
the potential for visual confusion with single quoting syntactic
constructs and because they can be harder to understand for non-native
English speakers.
