Description: Improve error messages
Improve the error messages of samhain by pointing to the user
how to fix them. For example, the signature database might not
exist because it has not been created yet.
Since these messages are shown in the log and in the output
of systemctl (or journal) they are important as otherwise the
administrator might not have a clue how to fix them
Specially in Debian, where the integrity database might not be
created right after the package configuration (and the service
will fail to start)
