guix system: Report wrong file system 'device' fields.
Previously, if you wrote (device "my-label") without (title 'label),
you'd get:

  guix system: error: stat: No such file or directory: "my-label"

Now you get a proper error and a hint.

Reported by Pierre-Antoine Rouby.

* guix/scripts/system.scm (check-file-system-availability)[literal]: New
variable.  Loop over LITERAL.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (%pseudo-file-system-types): New variable.
* guix/ui.scm (display-hint): Make public.
