Peter Marheine 819f6d7867 meson: improve error message for unsupported systems
This adds the current and supported system information to the error
message when an unsupported programmer is requested, making it easier
to tell what the incompatibility is.

TEST=(in mingw-ucrt64) meson setup -Dprogrammer=ni845x_spi build,
     error message says the programmer needs `['windows']/['x86']` but
     the system is `windows/x86_64`.

flashrom README
===============

flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing
flash chips. It is often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images
in-system using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.

It supports a wide range of flash chips (most commonly found in SOIC8, DIP8,
SOIC16, WSON8, PLCC32, DIP32, TSOP32, and TSOP40 packages), which use various
protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.

Do not use flashrom on laptops (yet)! The embedded controller (EC) present in
many laptops might interact badly with any attempts to communicate with the
flash chip and may brick your laptop.

Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it.

Please see the flashrom(8) manpage :doc:`classic_cli_manpage`.
