Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] gnu: bootloader: Add a friendly error message of
 menu-entry.

From: tiantian <typ22 <at> foxmail.com>

* gnu/bootloader.scm (report-menu-entry-error): New procedure.
(menu-entry->sexp): Add a call to `report-menu-entry-error'.

Co-Authored-By: Julien Lepiller <julien <at> lepiller.eu>

v3:
The error message like so:

guix system: error: invalid menu-entry: #<<menu-entry> label: "test" device: #<file-system-label "guix-root"> device-mount-point: #f linux: #f linux-arguments: () initrd: #f multiboot-kernel: #f multiboot-arguments: () multiboot-modules: () chain-loader: #f>
hint: Please chose only one of:

  1. direct boot by specifying fields `linux', `linux-arguments' and `linux-modules',

  2. multiboot by specifying fields `multiboot-kernel', `multiboot-arguments' and `multiboot-modules',

  3. chain-loader by specifying field `chain-loader'.

The code of `report-menu-entry-error' is quoted from Julien Lepiller.
Thanks the help from Julien Lepiller.

v4:
The checks of the lists are cancelled and the check of initrd is moved
to the first patch.
