qemu: Don't ignore failure when building default memory backend

When building the default memory backend (which has id='pc.ram')
and no guest NUMA is configured then
qemuBuildMemCommandLineMemoryDefaultBackend() is called. However,
its return value is ignored which means that on invalid
configuration (e.g. when non-existent hugepage size was
requested) an error is reported into the logs but QEMU is started
anyway. And while QEMU does error out its error message doesn't
give much clue what's going on:

  qemu-system-x86_64: Memory backend 'pc.ram' not found

While at it, introduce a test case. While I could chose a nice
looking value (e.g. 4MiB) that's exactly what I wanted to avoid,
because while such value might not be possible on x84_64 it may
be possible on other arches (e.g. ppc is notoriously known for
supporting wide range of HP sizes). Let's stick with obviously
wrong value of 5MiB.
