Leverage the common code introduced in commit c9cf636d48 ("machine:
Add a valid_cpu_types property") to check for the single valid CPU
type. This allows reporting an error for invalid CPUs:

   $ qemu-system-avr -M 2009 -cpu avr51-avr-cpu
   qemu-system-avr: Invalid CPU model: avr51
   The only valid type is: avr5

This is a nice user-convenience feature, but why for 9.2?
We haven't bothered to error-check the user specified CPU
before, and we still don't on many (non-avr) board types.

OK to postpone for 10.0 then.
