The callback to consume JSON values takes QObject *json, Error *err.
If both are null, the callback is supposed to make up an error by
itself. This sucks.
qjson.c's consume_json() neglects to do so, which makes
qobject_from_json() null instead of failing. I consider that a bug.
The culprit is json_message_process_token(): it passes two null
pointers when it runs into a lexical error or a limit violation. Fix
it to pass a proper Error object then. Update the callbacks:
* monitor.c's handle_qmp_command(): the code to make up an error is
now dead, drop it.
* qga/main.c's process_event(): lumps the "both null" case together
with the "not a JSON object" case. The former is now gone. The
error message "Invalid JSON syntax" is misleading for the latter.
Improve it to "Input must be a JSON object".
* qobject/qjson.c's consume_json(): no update; check-qjson
demonstrates qobject_from_json() now sets an error on lexical
errors, but still doesn't on some other errors.
* tests/libqtest.c's qmp_response(): the Error object is now reliable,
so use it to improve the error message.
