Use %s to format strings instead of splicing them

If FOO might contain quotes that are part of a file or variable
name, the quotes should not be translated when showing FOO’s name
in a diagnostic.  So, for example, (message (concat (FOO ": bar")))
is not quite right, as it would translate FOO’s quotes.
Change it to (message "%s: bar" FOO) instead.
