New code should NOT be adding macros in qerror.h, but just directly
report the error.

You use a generic error both for migration active and for no migration
in progress.  The error API documents that clients (such as libvirt)
must NOT parse the human-readable string.  If libvirt is actually going
to behave differently for this particular error, that argues that it may
need a different error category than GENERIC_ERROR.
