  g.remove: improve user message to contain more details (#5484)

g.remove:

I find it unhelpful that `g.remove` is unspecific with its "file not found" message, e.g.

```bash
g.remove -f type=vector 'pattern=voronoi*'
WARNING: No data base element files found

g.remove -f type=raster,vector 'pattern=map*'
WARNING: No data base element files found

g.remove -f type=raster 'pattern=model*'
WARNING: No data base element files found

g.remove -f type=vector 'pattern=ato*'
WARNING: No data base element files found
```

Running this in scripted (cloud) environments may flood the logs with messages not helpful for debugging.

This PR changes the message to

```bash
g.remove -f type=raster 'pattern=bla*'
No file(s) found for type(s): raster

g.remove -f type=region 'pattern=bla*'
No file(s) found for type(s): region

g.remove -f type=all 'pattern=bla*'
No file(s) found for type(s): raster, raster_3d, vector, region, group
```
