[PATCH v2 05/12] hw/remote/vfio-user: Clean up error reporting

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

VFU_OBJECT_ERROR() reports the error with error_setg(&error_abort,
...) when auto-shutdown is enabled, else with error_report().

Issues:

1. The error is serious enough to warrant aborting the process when
auto-shutdown is enabled, yet harmless enough to permit carrying on
when it's disabled.  This makes no sense to me.

2. Like assert(), &error_abort is strictly for programming errors.  Is
this one?  Or should we exit(1) instead?

3. qapi/error.h advises "don't error_setg(&error_abort, ...), use
assert()."

This patch addresses just 3.
