hw/arm/virt: Update error message for bad gic-version option
As we added different valid gic-version option settings,
we forgot to update the hint in the error message produced
when the user specifies an invalid value:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,help | grep gic-version
gic-version=<string> - Set GIC version. Valid values are 2, 3, 4, host and max
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,gic-version=bang
qemu-system-aarch64: Invalid gic-version value
Valid values are 3, 2, host, max.
Update the error string to match the one we use in the help text
for the option.
