"Please insert an Xbox disc..." is confusing #1

If the kernel doesn't identify a valid disc it will launch into the dashboard.

In that case, this code is printing a confusing message:

pb_show_debug_screen();
debugPrint("Please insert an Xbox disc...\n");
while(1) XSleep(1000);

This message will be shown, regardless of the current system state. If the user supplies a valid Xbox image (redump ISO), the message will still be printed in XQEMU (because of missing drive emulation).

We should probably add some code to check if a disc was inserted, and report the most common issues and current system state (disc drive information + kernel information).

I looked for information on how to detect a CD / DVD type. It appears to be done in software, the SMC only tells you wether the disc tray is opened / closed:

So we can use code that's similar to that in this XQEMU-Manager PR.

Additionally, we can query the DVD-X2 state from the drive, which is mode sense page 0x3E, to detect the broken XQEMU drive / authentication.
