Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 077195187b hw/nvram/fw_cfg: Let fw_cfg_add_from_generator() return boolean value
Commits b6d7e9b66f..a43770df5d simplified the error propagation.
Similarly to commit 6fd5bef10b "qom: Make functions taking Error**
return bool, not void", let fw_cfg_add_from_generator() return a
boolean value, not void.
This allow to simplify parse_fw_cfg() and fixes the error handling
issue reported by Coverity (CID 1430396):

  In parse_fw_cfg():

    Variable assigned once to a constant guards dead code.

    Local variable local_err is assigned only once, to a constant
    value, making it effectively constant throughout its scope.
    If this is not the intent, examine the logic to see if there
    is a missing assignment that would make local_err not remain
    constant.

It's the call of fw_cfg_add_from_generator():

        Error *local_err = NULL;

        fw_cfg_add_from_generator(fw_cfg, name, gen_id, errp);
        if (local_err) {
            error_propagate(errp, local_err);
            return -1;
        }
        return 0;

If it fails, parse_fw_cfg() sets an error and returns 0, which is
wrong. Harmless, because the only caller passes &error_fatal.
