Markus Armbruster 2ab218aad6 qapi: Change frontend error messages to start with lower case
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.

Markus Armbruster 1554a8fae9 qapi: Have each QAPI schema declare its returns white-list
qapi.py has a hardcoded white-list of command names that may violate
the rules on permitted return types.  Add a new pragma directive
'returns-whitelist', and use it to replace the hard-coded white-list.
