chardev: give some context on chardev-add error

Description from Daniel P. Berrangé:
> The original code reported:
>
>  "attempt to add duplicate property 'char2' to object (type 'container')"
>
> Since adding yank support, the current code reports
>
>  "duplicate yank instance"
>
> With this patch applied it now reports:
>
>  "Failed to add chardev 'char2': duplicate yank instance"
>
> This is marginally better, but still not great, not that the original
> error was great either.
>
> It would be nice if we could report
>
>   "chardev with id 'char2' already exists"
