Upload error message is not very useful

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When uploading a file, the error message when something goes wrong is not
very useful in helping you debug where it goes wrong.

I've attached a patch to modify control.php to show a more descriptive
message of what went wrong. (I hope I made the patch correctly.)

The only real problem that happens is that the webserver user cannot write to 
the 
rtorrent watch directory. To fix it, chmod a+rw ~/WatchDir/

Have you (or any other rtGui users) really seen any the other errors generated 
on a 
properly conifured webserver? - max file size is 2Mb - have you ever seen a 
.torrent 
that big?!  Ever seen 'Stopped by extension'?

I don't like to add code without real reason as it adds to the complexity.

If any rtGui users have problems with adding .torrent files let us know!

"properly configured webserver"? This looks like the kind of app people would 
run on
their own stuff. And it doesn't really add to the complexity >.>

All it does is add a descriptive message. You can replace the whole switch 
statement
with the number of the error, then people could look it up themselves.
