- Wiki says "block chain" is correct ;)
- remove some unneeded spaces I found in the source, while fixing the spelling

Well I suppose we do want consistency in exposed terminology...

All these minimal changes to the translated messages over time cause lots of translations to be lost. See also #1796. And my replies in #1830.

My opinion is still that we need a script to update all translations on Transifex when the English source message for a message changes only syntactically, i.e..
```
rename-source-message "Importing bootstrap blockchain data file." "Importing block chain data file..."
```
Only then we can freely apply these kinds of pulls. Until then, we have to be really conservative in what messages we change, otherwise translators are going to get pissed (after translating a similar message a zillion times) and might stop doing their work entirely.

@laanwj I agree, it would be nice to have such a command, on the other hand we have not such a thing (currently) and I'm always going to point people at strings like these, which are not correct in the end ;). Have you got an idea for such a script?

Surely there are better bike sheds to paint.
