The end result of calling qemu_opt_set_bool() is the same. The difference
between qerror_report() and qerror_report_err() is that the former gets error
information from the error call, while the latter gets error information
from the Error object. But they do the same thing.

I don't remember if opt->str is read after the QemuOpt object is built. If
it's, then yes, this is a bug fix. Otherwise it just make the final
QemuOpt object more 'conforming'.
