Title

Avoid plural forms in non-GUI translatable strings (lacks `%n` support)

Description

In non-GUI code, translatable strings with format specifiers rely on the `tinyformat::format` implementation, which does not support the `%n` specifier that is [crucial](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/i18n-plural-rules.html) for pluralising with Qt translation tools. Therefore, it may be worth considering rephrasing translatable strings to avoid potential plural forms. This issue was initially reported on Transifex: https://app.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/translate/#fr/qt-translation-029x/570550303/. Here is an example of such a string: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/db36a92c02b83f2e6477a5a55fc061319f7cc6a3/src/init.cpp#L991
