[DRBD-user] drbdmanage API error message format

How about that?

    my $format = "Resource %(res)s has size %(size)sKB.";
    my $args = { 'res' => "resource_0", 'size' => "20411" };

    my $loc_fmt = _($format);

    my @args = ();
    push @args, $args->{$1} // "" while $loc_fmt =~ s,\%\((\w+)\),%,;

    $loc_error = sprintf($loc_fmt, @args);
