[FIX] hr,sale,project(_timesheet)_holidays: improve the user/validation errors

Purpose of the commit is, User/validation errors are sometimes not
correct in English and/or quite obscure and don't help the user
understand/solve the issue. so some copywriting should help make
the experience better.

So in this commit, re-word the several validation and usererror message
and als make the timesheet_task_id field required when the
timesheet_project_id field is set,
