Since commit 50b7b00, we have error_append_hint() to conveniently
accumulate Error member @hint. error_report_err() prints it with a
newline appended. Consequently, users of error_append_hint() need to
know whether theirs is the final line of the hint to decide whether it
needs a newline. Not a nice interface.
Change error_report_err() to print just the hint, and the (still few)
users of error_append_hint() to add the required newline.

We have several tests that perform multiple sub-actions that are
expected to fail. Asserting that an error occurred, then clearing
it up to prepare for the next action, turned into enough
boilerplate that it was sometimes forgotten (for example, a number
of tests added to test-qmp-input-visitor.c in d88f5fd leaked err).
Worse, if an error is not reset to NULL, we risk invalidating
later use of that error (passing a non-NULL err into a function
is generally a bad idea). Encapsulate the boilerplate into a
single helper function error_free_or_abort(), and consistently
use it.
The new function is added into error.c for use everywhere,
although it is anticipated that testsuites will be the main
client.

Similar to error_abort, but doesn't report where the error was
created, and terminates the process with exit(1) rather than abort().

Commits 7216ae3d and d2828429 disabled some error message hints,
all because a change to use modern error reporting meant that the
hint would be output prior to the actual error. Fix this by making
hints a first-class member of Error.
For example, we are now back to the pleasant:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --nodefaults -S --vnc :0 --chardev null,id=,
qemu-system-x86_64: --chardev null,id=,: Parameter 'id' expects an identifier
Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter.

This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:
Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action
Aborted (core dumped)
Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

qga_vss_fsfreeze() casts error_set_win32() from
void (*)(Error **, int, ErrorClass, const char *, ...)
to
void (*)(void **, int, int, const char *, ...)
The result is later called. Since the two types are not compatible,
the call is undefined behavior. It works in practice anyway.
However, there's no real need for trickery here. Clean it up as
follows:
* Declare struct Error, and fix the first parameter.
* Switch to error_setg_win32(). This gets rid of the troublesome
ErrorClass parameter. Requires converting error_setg_win32() from
macro to function, but that's trivially easy, because this is the
only user of error_set_win32().

Duplicated when commit 680d16d added error_set_errno(), and again when
commit 20840d4 added error_set_win32().
Make the original copy in error_set() reusable by factoring out
error_setv(), then rewrite error_set_errno() and error_set_win32() on
top of it.

I've typed error_report("%s", error_get_pretty(ERR)) too many times
already, and I've fixed too many instances of qerror_report_err(ERR)
to error_report("%s", error_get_pretty(ERR)) as well. Capture the
pattern in a convenience function.
Since it's almost invariably followed by error_free(), stuff that into
the convenience function as well.
The next patch will put it to use.

Use fprintf(stderr instead. This removes dependency of libqemuutil.a
on the monitor.
We can further justify this change, in that this code path should only
trigger under a fatal error condition. fprintf-stderr is probably the
appropriate medium as under a fatal error conidition the monitor itself
may be down and out for the count. So assertion failure messages should
go lowest common denominator - straight to stderr.
Fixes the build as reported by Kevin Wolf. Issue debugged and change
suggested by Luiz Capitulino. Issue introduced by

Add a special Error * that can be passed to error handling APIs to
signal that any errors are fatal and should abort QEMU. There are two
advantages to this:
- allows for brevity when wishing to assert success of Error **
accepting APIs. No need for this pattern:
Error * local_err = NULL;
api_call(foo, bar, &local_err);
assert_no_error(local_err);
This also removes the need for _nofail variants of APIs with
asserting call sites now reduced to 1LOC.
- SIGABRT happens from within the offending API. When a fatal error
occurs in an API call (when the caller is asserting sucess) failure
often means the API itself is broken. With the abort happening in the
API call now, the stack frames into the call are available at debug
time. In the assert_no_error scheme the abort happens after the fact.
The exact semantic is that when an error is raised, if the argument
Error ** matches &error_abort, then the abort occurs immediately. The
error messaged is reported.
For error_propagate, if the destination error is &error_abort, then
the abort happens at propagation time.

There may be calls to error_setg() and especially error_setg_errno()
which blindly (and until now wrongly) assume these functions not to
clobber errno (e.g., they pass errno to error_setg_errno() and return
-errno afterwards). Instead of trying to find and fix all of these
constructs, just make sure error_setg() and error_setg_errno() indeed do
not clobber errno.
