This reverts commit d32934c84c.
The original implementation before this patch makes abortive error
messages much more friendly. The underlying bug that required this
change is now fixed. Revert.

Use fprintf(stderr instead. This removes dependency of libqemuutil.a
on the monitor.
We can further justify this change, in that this code path should only
trigger under a fatal error condition. fprintf-stderr is probably the
appropriate medium as under a fatal error conidition the monitor itself
may be down and out for the count. So assertion failure messages should
go lowest common denominator - straight to stderr.
Fixes the build as reported by Kevin Wolf. Issue debugged and change
suggested by Luiz Capitulino. Issue introduced by
5d24ee70bc.

Add a special Error * that can be passed to error handling APIs to
signal that any errors are fatal and should abort QEMU. There are two
advantages to this:
- allows for brevity when wishing to assert success of Error **
accepting APIs. No need for this pattern:
Error * local_err = NULL;
api_call(foo, bar, &local_err);
assert_no_error(local_err);
This also removes the need for _nofail variants of APIs with
asserting call sites now reduced to 1LOC.
- SIGABRT happens from within the offending API. When a fatal error
occurs in an API call (when the caller is asserting sucess) failure
often means the API itself is broken. With the abort happening in the
API call now, the stack frames into the call are available at debug
time. In the assert_no_error scheme the abort happens after the fact.
The exact semantic is that when an error is raised, if the argument
Error ** matches &error_abort, then the abort occurs immediately. The
error messaged is reported.
For error_propagate, if the destination error is &error_abort, then
the abort happens at propagation time.

There may be calls to error_setg() and especially error_setg_errno()
which blindly (and until now wrongly) assume these functions not to
clobber errno (e.g., they pass errno to error_setg_errno() and return
-errno afterwards). Instead of trying to find and fix all of these
constructs, just make sure error_setg() and error_setg_errno() indeed do
not clobber errno.
