(Whiteboard: [closeme-sync.next]) 

Currently we use the string "Please try again" in the error message on the JPAKE screen.

We should adapt this to cover the type of error (of the list of the ones we can determine):

keymismatch = "The code wasn't entered correctly.  Please try again."
timeout = "The code wasn't entered within 5 minutes. Please try again."

all others = "One of your devices may have lost its connection during the exchange. Please try again."

In some of the cases it isn't actually a network problem, but since this is the only remaining thing that the user can potentially control, we should mention that it may be the problem.

We'll only need to do this if we keep J-PAKE around.
