Many error messages refer to the offending definition even though
they're preceded by an "in definition" line. Rephrase them.

Starting error messages with a capital letter complicates things when
text can get interpolated both at the beginning and in the middle of
an error message. The next patch will do that. Switch to lower case
to keep it simpler.
For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards advise the message
"should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name
and/or file name, because that isn’t the beginning of a sentence. (The
sentence conceptually starts at the beginning of the line.)"
While there, avoid breaking lines containing multiple arguments in the
middle of an argument.

We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
But not always:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
I'll take care of that later in this series.

The previous commit made qapi-code-gen.txt define "(top-level)
expression" as either "directive" or "definition". The code still
uses "expression" when it really means "definition". Tidy up.
The previous commit made qapi-code-gen.txt use "object" rather than
"dictionary". The code still uses "dictionary". Tidy up.

QAPISchemaMember gains .ifcond for enum members: inherited classes,
such as QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember, will thus have an ifcond member
after this (those different types will also use the .ifcond to store
the condition and generate conditional code in the following patches).
The generated code remains unconditional for now. Later patches
generate the conditionals.
