treewide: Remove "ERROR: "/"WARN: " prefixes from log messages

Now that the console system itself will clearly differentiate loglevels,
it is no longer necessary to explicitly add "ERROR: " in front of every
BIOS_ERR message to help it stand out more (and allow automated tooling
to grep for it). Removing all these extra .rodata characters should save
us a nice little amount of binary size.

This patch was created by running

  find src/ -type f -exec perl -0777 -pi -e 's/printk\(\s*BIOS_ERR,\s*"ERROR: /printk\(BIOS_ERR, "/gi' '{}' ';'

and doing some cursory review/cleanup on the result. Then doing the same
thing for BIOS_WARN with

  's/printk\(\s*BIOS_WARNING,\s*"WARN(ING)?: /printk\(BIOS_WARNING, "/gi'
