Daniel P. Berrangé 7d0e12af59 net: improve error message for missing netdev backend
The current message when using '-net user...' with SLIRP disabled at
compile time is:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -net user: Parameter 'type' expects a net backend type (maybe it is not compiled into this binary)

An observation is that we're using the 'netdev->type' field here which
is an enum value, produced after QAPI has converted from its string
form.

IOW, at this point in the code, we know that the user's specified
type name was a valid network backend. The only possible scenario that
can make the backend init function be NULL, is if support for that
backend was disabled at build time. Given this, we don't need to caveat
our error message with a 'maybe' hint, we can be totally explicit.

The use of QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE doesn't really lend itself to
user friendly error message text. Since this is not used to set a
specific QAPI error class, we can simply stop using this pre-formatted
error text and provide something better.

Thus the new message is:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -net user: network backend 'user' is not compiled into this binary

The case of passing 'hubport' for -net is also given a message reminding
people they should have used -netdev/-nic instead, as this backend type
is only valid for the modern syntax.
