No error message if using --land and --ensemble 
While I was changing the test for `--land` and `--prelimbe` flags, I have realized that a request for a combination of `--land` and `--ensemble` goes through and [https://github.com/eWaterCycle/era5cli/blob/main/era5cli/fetch.py](url) doesn't raise an error. Should I add it, since I'm anyway working on it? 

`era5cli monthly --startyear 1990 --endyear 1990 --variables total_precipitation --land --ensemble`
