Give sensible feedback when a repo has no configured servers

This fixes FS#14899. When running an -Sp operation without servers
configured for a repository, we would segfault, so add an assert to the
backend method returning the first server preventing a null pointer
dereference.

In addition, add a new error code to libalpm that indicates we have no
servers configured for a repository. This makes -Sy and -S <package>
operations fail gracefully and helpfully when a repo is set up with no
servers, as the default mirrorlist in Arch is provided this way.
