[PATCH v7 03/21] error: rename errp to errp_in where it is IN-argument

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Error **errp is almost always OUT-argument: it's assumed to be NULL, or
pointer to NULL-initialized pointer, or pointer to error_abort or
error_fatal, for callee to report error.

But very few functions instead get Error **errp as IN-argument:
it's assumed to be set (or, maybe, NULL), and callee should clean it,
or add some information.

In such cases, rename errp to errp_in.

This patch updates only error API functions. There still a few
functions with errp-in semantics, they will be updated in further
commits.
