46ede58bb461c1171251988e7fb1db6590350975 vl: Fix bogus error message for implied mon ID clashing
monitor_parse() desugars --monitor, --qmp and -qmp-pretty to --mon.
The ID it picks can clash with a user-specified ID. When it happens,
the error message is misleading.
Reproducer:
$ qemu --mon id=compat_monitor0 --monitor stdio
Message before the patch:
duplicate chardev: compat_monitor0
There's no "duplicate chardev" here. The problem is a duplicate
monitor ID. Moreover, the message provides no clue which option
caused the problem. The patch changes the message to:
qemu: --monitor stdio: Duplicate ID 'compat_monitor0' for mon
monitor_parse() is also used for creating a default monitor, but
that's not done when the user specifies a monitor, so an ID clash is
impossible then.
