Hi all!

Here is a proposal of auto propagation for local_err, to not call
error_propagate on every exit point, when we deal with local_err.

There are also two issues with errp:

1. error_fatal & error_append_hint: user can't see these
hints, because exit() happens in error_setg earlier than hint is
appended. [Reported by Greg Kurz]

2. error_abort & error_propagate: when we wrap
error_abort by local_err+error_propagate, resulting coredump will
refer to error_propagate and not to the place where error happened.
(the macro itself don't fix the issue, but it allows to [3.] drop all
local_err+error_propagate pattern, which will definitely fix the issue)
[Reported by Kevin Wolf]

Still, applying new macro to all errp-functions is a huge task, which is
impossible to solve in one series.

So, here is a minimum: solve only [1.], by adding new macro to all
errp-functions which wants to call error_append_hint.

v3: plan B: fix only error_append_hint users, as a first step.
01: - new errp-based API dropped, so now patch is smaller.
    - slightly adjust commit message
    - keep Eric's r-b
02: - no new API, so just open-code fix
    - keep Eric's r-b
03: - simplify the code [Eric]
04: - grammar and wording
    - drop extra unused variable
others: new
