Currently, fetch-pack prints a confusing error message ("expected
ACK/NAK") when the server it's communicating with sends a pkt-line
starting with "ERR". Replace it with a less confusing error message.
(Git will send "ERR" lines when a "want" line references an object that
it does not have. This is uncommon, but can happen if a repository is
garbage-collected during a negotiation.)

This situation has been noticed occasionally in my company - this is a
small change that would make the situation slightly easier to
understand.
