    fdc: Throw an assertion on misconfigured fd_formats table · 69ce1ac2

    pick_geometry is a convoluted function that makes it difficult to tell
    at a glance what QEMU's current behavior for choosing a floppy drive
    type is when it can't quite identify the diskette.
    
    The code iterates over all entries in the candidate geometry table
    ("fd_formats") and if our specific drive type matches a row in the table,
    then either "match" is set to that entry (an exact match) and the loop
    exits, or "first_match" will be non-negative (the first such entry that
    shares the same drive type), and the loop continues. If our specific
    drive type is NONE, then all drive types in the candidate geometry table
    are considered. After iteration, if "match" was not set, we fall back to
    "first match".
    
    This means that either "match" was set, or we exited the loop without an
    exact match, in which case:
    
    - If drive type is NONE, the default is truly fd_formats[0], a 1.44MB
      type, because "first_match" will always get set to the first item.
    
    - If drive type is not NONE, pick_geometry's iteration was fussier and
      only looked at rows that matched our drive type. However, since all
      possible drive types are represented in the table, we still know that
      "first match" was set.
    
    - If drive type is not NONE and the fd_formats table lists no options for
      our drive type, we choose fd_formats[1], an incomprehensibly bizarre
      choice that can never happen anyway.
    
    Correct this: If first_match is -1, it can ONLY mean we didn't edit our
    fd_formats table correctly. Throw an assertion instead.
