misc: Avoid UTF-8 in error messages
While most developers are now using UTF-8 environments, it's harder to guarantee that error messages will be output to a multibyte locale. Rather than risking error messages that get corrupted into mojibake when the user runs qemu in a non-multibyte locale, let's stick to straight ASCII error messages, rather than assuming that our use of UTF-8 in source code string constants will work unchanged in other locales.
