hmp: Allow for error message hints on HMP
Commits 7216ae3d and d2828429 disabled some error message hints,
all because a change to use modern error reporting meant that the
hint would be output prior to the actual error. Fix this by making
hints a first-class member of Error.
For example, we are now back to the pleasant:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --nodefaults -S --vnc :0 --chardev null,id=,
qemu-system-x86_64: --chardev null,id=,: Parameter 'id' expects an identifier
Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter.
