[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 09/26] qapi: Improve a QObject input visitor error message

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

The QObject input visitor has three error message formats:

* Parameter '%s' is missing
* "Invalid parameter type for '%s', expected: %s"
* "QMP input object member '%s' is unexpected"

The '%s' are member names (or "null", but I'll fix that later).

The last error message calls the thing "QMP input object member"
instead of "parameter".  Misleading when the visitor is used on
QObjects that don't come from QMP.  Change it to "Parameter '%s' is
unexpected".
