chardev: Propagate error from logfile opening

If a chardev has a logfile the file is opened using
qemu_open_old() which does the job, but since @errp is not
propagated into qemu_open_internal() we lose much more accurate
error and just report "Unable to open logfile $errno".  When
using plain files, it's probably okay as nothing complex is
happening behind the curtains. But the problem becomes more
prominent when passing an "/dev/fdset/XXX" path since much more
needs to be done.

The fix is to use qemu_create() which passes @errp further down.
