PATCH 1/1 Fix spelling for qemu-doc.texi and monitor.c

This patch fixes the usage of medium and media in the documentation and in QEMU messages.

one CDROM = medium (not media)
two or more CDROMs = media (not medias)

Please correct me if I was wrong - I'm not a native speaker but tried my best and looked at AskOxford.
