[PATCH] qemu: validate: Clarify error messages for unsupported 3d video acceleration

The error message doesn't really convey the information that 3d
acceleration works only for the 'virtio' model and similarly the same
error would be reported if qemu doesn't support acceleration, which is
hard to debug.

Split and clarify the errors.

Noticed in https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/388
