Tested:

- qm set 104 --ide0 local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.285.iso,media=cdrom
- qm set 104 --ide1 local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.262.iso,media=cdrom
- qm start 104

the CLI produces 2 warnings as described in the commits.

Note that the setting the ISOs in the UI won't produce a warnings and
since there is no task, there will not be any visible issue. However,
having warnings on qmstart is good enough in my opinion.
