[PATCH v4 03/21] hw/qdev-clock: Display error hint when clock is missing from device

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Instead of directly aborting, display a hint to help the developer
figure out the problem (likely trying to connect a clock to a device
pre-dating the Clock API, thus not expecting clocks).
