libxl: do not use tap disk backend other than for raw and vhd

tap does not support qcow/qcow2; update disk_try_backend accordingly.

Break out the "backend not suitable for this format" message so it can
be reused.  Remove now-redundant reporting from
libxl_device_disk_local_attach and replace with abort().
