Report error when parsing character device target type

No useful error was being reported when an invalid character device
target type is specified in the domainXML. E.g.

    ...
    <console type="pty">
      <source path="/dev/pts/2"/>
      <target type="kvm" port="0"/>
    </console>
    ...

resulted in

error: Failed to define domain from x.xml
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

With this small patch, the error is more helpful

error: Failed to define domain from x.xml
error: XML error: unknown target type 'kvm' specified for character device
