[gawk] patch to equalize some message strings; and an unclear string

Hi,

Attached patch makes some of gawk's message strings equal to other
existing ones, from which they differ only by missing an article.
It also fixes a presumed typo: non-directed -> non-redirected.


In profile.c, the meaning of the following message is unclear to me:
    fprintf(prof_fp, _("\t# %s(s)\n\n"), ruletab[rule]);

What kind of things/words are going to be filled in for %s?  And is
the (s) an optional plural s?  Just like in the message shortly before?:

    fprintf(prof_fp, _("\t# %s block(s)\n\n"), ruletab[rule]);
 
This last message is not correctly translatable in all languages,
but okay, not everything can be done correctly.  The first one,
however, is (in this form) translatable to almost none.

(Please CC, not subscribed.)

Regards,

Benno
