The QERR_ macros are leftovers from the days of "rich" error objects.
QERR_QMP_BAD_INPUT_OBJECT, QERR_QMP_BAD_INPUT_OBJECT_MEMBER,
QERR_QMP_EXTRA_MEMBER are used in just one place now, except for one
use that has crept into qobject-input-visitor.c.
Drop these macros, to make the (bad) error messages more visible.

Just specifying a custom string is simpler in basically all places that
used it, and in addition, specifying the BB or node name is something we
generally do not do in other error messages when opening a BDS, so we
should not do it here.
This changes the output for iotest 036 (to the better, in my opinion),
so the reference output needs to be changed accordingly.
Backports commit a55448b3681a880b77eaefe8b2c42912000cb481 from qemu
Remove it except for two things in qerror.h:
* Two #include to be cleaned up separately to avoid cluttering this
patch.
* The QERR_ macros. Mark as obsolete.
Backports commit 4629ed1e98961bbe678db68ef5f4342ff174a6c3 from qemu
These macros expand into error class enumeration constant, comma,
string. Unclean. Has been that way since commit 13f59ae.
The error class is always ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR since the previous
commit.
* Prepend every use of a QERR_ macro by ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR, and
delete it from the QERR_ macro. No change after preprocessing.
* Rewrite error_set(ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR, ...) into
error_setg(...). Again, no change after preprocessing.
Backports commit c6bd8c706a799eb0fece99f468aaa22b818036f3 from qemu
Error classes other than ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR should not be used
in new code. Hiding them in QERR_ macros makes new uses hard to spot.
Fortunately, there's just one such macro left. Eliminate it with this
coccinelle semantic patch:

expression EP, E;

-error_set(EP, QERR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, E)
+error_set(EP, ERROR_CLASS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, "Device '%s' not found", E)
