[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] fix #3921: client: confusing backup reader error

When using the catalog shell command, a common error is that user pass
"./files.pxar" instead of "files.pxar". This will result in a cryptic error
"... value does not match regex pattern ...". Added some context to the
error according to suggestions here [1].
