/*
 * Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
 *
 * Create an error:
 *     error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
 *
 * Create an error and add additional explanation:
 *     error_setg(&err, "invalid quark");
 *     error_append_hint(&err, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
 *                       "charm, top, bottom.\n");
 *
 * Do *not* contract this to
 *     error_setg(&err, "invalid quark\n"
 *                "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.");
 *
 *
 * Report an error to the current monitor if we have one, else stderr:
 *     error_report_err(err);
 * This frees the error object.
 *
 * Likewise, but with additional text prepended:
 *     error_reportf_err(err, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
 *
 * Report an error somewhere else:
 *     const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
 *     do with msg what needs to be done...
 *     error_free(err);
 * Note that this loses hints added with error_append_hint().
 *
 * 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);
 *
 * Call a function treating errors as fatal:
 *     foo(arg, &error_fatal);
 *
 * 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.
 *
 * Receive and accumulate multiple errors (first one wins):
 *     Error *err = NULL, *local_err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     bar(arg, &local_err);
 *     error_propagate(&err, local_err);
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 *
 * Do *not* "optimize" this to
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     bar(arg, &err); // WRONG!
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * because this may pass a non-null err to bar().
