It feels a little bit dirty that we are parsing the URL rather than
having a distinct discriminator, but I'm okay with the approach (with a
distinct discriminator, we would have to reconstruct a URL from the
discriminator + the rest of the server/path information, and that's more
work to libvirt to split a URL into the distinct JSON fields just to
have qemu rebuild a URL).

Perhaps splitting the message with an error_append_hint() for the
parenthetical half would also be appropriate, but the line is not too
terribly long so I won't insist on a respin.
