[PATCH v3 11/11] machine: Improve error message when using default RAM backend id

[David Hildenbrand]

For migration purposes, users might want to reuse the default RAM
backend id, but specify a different memory backend.

For example, to reuse "pc.ram" on q35, one has to set
    -machine q35,memory-backend=pc.ram
Only then, can a memory backend with the id "pc.ram" be created
manually.

Let's improve the error message.

Unfortuantely, we cannot use error_append_hint(), because the caller
passes &error_fatal.
