If the user forgot if=none on their drive specification they're likely
to get an error message because the drive is assigned once automatically
by QEMU and once by the manual id=/drive= user command line specification.
Improve the error message produced in this case to explicitly guide the
user towards if=none.
We rephrase the "drive conflict but not for an if=something" error as
well to keep the wording in line.
The two cases that change are:
(1) Drive specified as to be auto-connected and also manually connected
(and the board does handle this if= type):
qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none \
-drive if=scsi,file=tmp.qcow2,id=foo -device ide-hd,drive=foo
Previously:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,drive=foo: Property 'ide-hd.drive'
can't take value 'foo', it's in use
Now:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,drive=foo: Drive 'foo' is already in
use because it has been automatically connected to another device (did
you need 'if=none' in the drive options?)
(2) Drive specified to be manually connected in two different ways:
qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none \
-drive if=none,file=tmp.qcow2,id=foo -device ide-hd,drive=foo \
-device ide-hd,drive=foo
Previously:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,drive=foo: Property 'ide-hd.drive'
can't take value 'foo', it's in use
Now:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,drive=foo: Drive 'foo' is already in
use by another device
