qdev-properties-system: Improve error message for drive assignment conflict

Browse Source 
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
