I know you wanted this to be plain code movement, but since you're
touching this error message you can apply our coding style rule [1] and
unbreak the message onto one, long line. All error messages are exempt
from the 80 chars rule, because it's easier to git grep them.

And on a similar note, per out deprecation policy [2], firewalld-0.6.0
or older is ancient history, thus this version check can be dropped (in
a separate commit of course).
