`humity qspi --write` error when sector 0 is non-empty could maybe say something about `--write-sector0`

Description
presently, the humility qspi --write command will complain when the first 65552B of the input is not 0xff:
humility qspi failed: cannot skip sector 0 with non-empty bytes
passing --write-sector0 will cause it to write the non-empty sector 0 regardless. so maybe the error could mention that or something?

Research direction
Start at the humility qspi --write command entry point and locate the cannot skip sector 0 with non-empty bytes error text. Reproduce the case with non-0xff bytes in the first 65552B, then verify that the resulting message points users to --write-sector0 while that flag continues to permit the write.
