Improve dtrx -l performance on misnamed files, and clean other error messages.

dtrx -l would only ever try one extractor, instead of trying all possible
alternaitves like it did when extracting. This is mostly because
get_filenames() reported no meaningful error information. This has been
fixed.

Some error messages have been genericized, since we're not always
extracting archives: we might be listing their contents instead.
