v3 cover pc: Fix startup with memory hotplug enabled

Tweak error messages to make sense and add check to verify that maxmem_size is properly aligned right away rather than just crashing afterwards.

PATCH v3 1/2 vl.c: Fix error messages when parsing maxmem parameters

Produce more human readable error messages and fix few spelling mistakes.

Also remove a redundant check for the max memory size.

---

Notes:
Version 3:
- forgot a word in one of the error messages

Version 2:
- fixed spacing in error message
- changed control flow to allow maxmem == ram_size in case slots == 0

PATCH v3 2/2 pc: memory: Validate alignment of maxram_size to page size

In reply to Peter Krempa

If the maxram_size is not aligned and dimm devices were added on the command line qemu would terminate with a rather unhelpful message:

ERROR:hw/mem/pc-dimm.c:150:pc_dimm_get_free_addr: assertion failed:
(QEMU_ALIGN_UP(address_space_size, align) == address_space_size)

In case no dimm device was originally added on the commandline qemu exits on the assertion failure.
