Commit Message:
SCI: Handle invalid messages with `warning` instead of `error`

The LSL7 Russian "Fargus" translation contains a message resource that
was incorrectly compressed. This was a non-fatal error in SSCI, so now
we use `warning` instead of `error` to allow the game to proceed.

Fixes bug #16597
