CQM fails with AttributeError: 'ConstrainedQuadraticModel' object has no attribute 'quadratic'

Description This program:

sampler = dwave.system.EmbeddingComposite(dwave.system.DWaveSampler())
print("sampler="+str(sampler))

sampleset = sampler.sample(cqm, num_reads=100)
dwave.inspector.show(sampleset)

Since sampler.sample didn't complain about type mismatch I assume that it does accept CQM and this is a bug triggered by CQM only having linear terms in it, and not having quadratic terms.

The EmbeddingComposite and the DWaveSampler only accept BQMs, not CQMs or DQMs. If you want to solve CQMs you should use the LeapHybridCQMSampler.

We should probably raise a better error message, I agree.
