Clarify error message for hash mismatches (again)
This is arguably nitpicky, but I think this new formulation is even
clearer. My thinking is that it's easier to comprehend when the
calculated hash value is displayed close to the output path. (I think it
is somewhat similar to eliminating double negatives in logic
statements.)

The formulation is inspired / copied from the OpenEmbedded build tool,
bitbake.
