Cc'ing qemu-block@ and Markus (QMP).

I always wondered the point of this annoying warning but never
found out.

Is this menu updated when removable blkdev are hot-plugged from
the monitor or QMP?

The condition conflates "query failed" (returns null with error and "no
block devices" (returns empty list, i.e. null, with no error set).
Quite suspicious.

        ui/cocoa.m: Add machine menu items to change and eject removable drive media

        Adds all removable devices to the Machine menu as a Change and Eject menu
        item pair. ide-cd0 would have a "Change ide-cd0..." and "Eject ide-cd0"
        menu items.
