Eric Blake 50b7b000c9 hmp: Allow for error message hints on HMP
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.

/*
* Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
*
* Create an error:
* error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
*
* Report an error to stderr:
* error_report_err(err);
* This frees the error object.
*
* Report an error somewhere else:
* const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
* do with msg what needs to be done...
* error_free(err);
*
* Handle an error without reporting it (just for completeness):
* error_free(err);
*
* Pass an existing error to the caller:
* error_propagate(errp, err);
* where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
*
* Create a new error and pass it to the caller:
* error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
*
* Call a function and receive an error from it:
* Error *err = NULL;
* foo(arg, &err);
* if (err) {
* handle the error...
* }
*
* Call a function ignoring errors:
* foo(arg, NULL);
*
* Call a function aborting on errors:
* foo(arg, &error_abort);
*
* Receive an error and pass it on to the caller:
* Error *err = NULL;
* foo(arg, &err);
* if (err) {
* handle the error...
* error_propagate(errp, err);
* }
* where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
*
* Do *not* "optimize" this to
* foo(arg, errp);
* if (*errp) { // WRONG!
* handle the error...
* }
* because errp may be NULL!
*
* But when all you do with the error is pass it on, please use
* foo(arg, errp);
* for readability.
