conf: don't allow connecting upstream-port directly to pce-expander-bus

I apparently misunderstood Marcel's description of what could and
couldn't be plugged into qemu's pxb-pcie controller (known as
pcie-expander-bus in libvirt) - I specifically allowed directly
connecting a pcie-switch-upstream-port, and it turns out that causes
the guest kernel to crash.

This patch forbids such a connection, and updates the xml docs
appropriately.
