[segment] Add "Requested memory not available" error message 

prep_segment() can sometimes fail because an image requests memory
that is already in use by gPXE.  This will happen if
e.g. undionly.kpxe is used to boot memtest86; the memtest86 image is
an old-format kernel that needs to be loaded at 9000:0000, but this
area of memory may well already be in use by the underlying PXE stack.

Add a human-friendly error message, so that the cause is more
immediately visible.
