error: Fix -msg timestamp default

-msg parameter "timestamp" defaults to "off" if you don't specify msg,
and to "on" if you do.  Messed up right in commit 5e2ac51917 "add
timestamp to error_report()".  Mostly harmless, because "timestamp" is
the only parameter, so "if you do" is "-msg ''", which nobody does.

Change the default to "off" no matter what.

While there, rename enable_timestamp_msg to error_with_timestamp, and
polish documentation.
