When given an invalid <type> as part of a "<mode> SP [...]" line (see
the added comment) we'd use the generic die() message in
type_from_string_gently().

Let's do a bit better in that case and emit a message at the same
level of detail as the existing die() message if the type was valid,
but didn't match the mode.

In preceding commits we fixed the type_from_string_gently() function
for cases where gentle=0, now there are no more callers of it that
pass "gentle=0" that aren't type_from_string() itself.

So that fixing of a bug wasn't strictly needed for this end-state, but
helps to incrementally explain and test the changes we're making, and
of course leaves type_from_string_gently() in a good state for any
future gently=0 callers.
