RFR 8057650: uniform error diagnostics for inconsistent inherited method signatures

Hi,
the following is a simple patch which consolidates similar diagnostics
caused by incompatible overrides - the diagnostics are all of the form:
type A and B are incompatible because...
So I created a toplevel key for the 'type are incompatible' bit, and a
bunch of fragments for the various possible erroneous situations. See
webrev here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcimadamore/8057650/
As usual, I've also attached some examples of the touched diagnostic
keys, as a reference.
Note that, since I was there, I made one of the diagnostics better - the
key for 'diff.ret' used to take a String argument, while now takes a
(method) name and a list of types (the parameters), which is consistent
with other similar diagnostics, and avoids premature string-ification.
Cheers
Maurizio
