[bisq-network/bisq] Misleading error dialog when firewall is misconfigured (Issue #6141)

[JeremyRand]

### Description

The error dialog appearing when an offer is open but the firewall is misconfigured to block incoming connections is misleading.

#### Version

Bisq v1.8.4

### Steps to reproduce

1.Install Bisq on Whonix as per the instructions on the Whonix wiki, but forget to configure the firewall on the Whonix-Workstation VM (thus, incoming onion connections from the Tor daemon to Bisq will be dropped).
2. Create an open offer.
3. Wait a week.

### Expected behaviour

The error dialog from Bisq should suggest to check the firewall settings (in addition to the other things it suggests).

### Actual behaviour

The error dialog from Bisq says:

> Important private notification!
> 
> You might need to clear your tor cache / restart your Bisq instance, as your 2 offers have not been reachable for at least a week.
> 
> To do that from the Bisq application menus:
> Settings -> Network Info -> Open Tor Settings -> Delete Outdated Tor Files and Shutdown

It does not suggest checking the firewall settings, thus users who have a misconfigured firewall will go on a wild goose chase and not find the actual problem.

### Screenshots

N/A; issue is with text, not graphical.

#### Device or machine

Haswell i7; Whonix 16 inside Qubes 4.1.

#### Additional info

In my experience, firewall misconfiguration is a very common newbie error, and it's often not obvious to newbies that this is something they need to check.
