error: Eliminate error_propagate() with Coccinelle, part 1

When all we do with an Error we receive into a local variable is
propagating to somewhere else, we can just as well receive it there
right away.  Convert

    if (!foo(..., &err)) {
        ...
        error_propagate(errp, err);
        ...
        return ...
    }

to

    if (!foo(..., errp)) {
        ...
        ...
        return ...
    }

where nothing else needs @err.  Coccinelle script:

    @rule1 forall@
    identifier fun, err, errp, lbl;
    expression list args, args2;
    binary operator op;
    constant c1, c2;

Not exactly elegant, I'm afraid.

The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming

         if (fun(args, &err)) {
             goto out
         }
         ...
     out:
         error_propagate(errp, err);

even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate().
For an actual example, see sclp_realize().

Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(),
incorrectly.  I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that
it helps here.

The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure
out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err".  For
an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable().

Silently fails to convert hw/arm/armsse.c, because Coccinelle gets
confused by ARMSSE being used both as typedef and function-like macro
there.  Converted manually.

Line breaks tidied up manually.  One nested declaration of @local_err
deleted manually.  Preexisting unwanted blank line dropped in
hw/riscv/sifive_e.c.
