qapi: Improve input_type_enum()'s error message

The error message claims the parameter is invalid:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -object qom-type=nonexistent
    qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Invalid parameter 'nonexistent'

What's wrong is actually the *value* 'nonexistent'.  Improve the
message to

    qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Parameter 'qom-type' does not accept value 'nonexistent'
