DB Select error name prefix example could be clearer

Description

Currently on the DB select error message, which is otherwise lovely and clear, it says:

"On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like <code>username_wordpress</code>. Could that be the problem?"

Elsewhere in the message we are using the DB name as supplied to wp_config.php. So I figured why not here, this patch causes the line to read:

"On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like <code>username_[your DB name here]</code>. Could that be the problem?"
