homed: make clean that --storage=directory --image-path=/dev/some-block-device is not supported
The directory backend needs a file system path, and not a raw block
device. That's only supported for the LUKS2 backend.
Let's make this clearer in the man page and also generate a better error
message if attempted anyway.
Fixes: #17068
