error: Use error_prepend() where it makes obvious sense

Done with this Coccinelle semantic patch

    @@
    expression FMT, E1, E2;

    -    error_setg(E1, FMT, ARGS, error_get_pretty(E2));
    +    error_propagate(E1, E2);/*###*/
    +    error_prepend(E1, FMT/*@@@*/, ARGS);

followed by manual cleanup, first because I can't figure out how to
make Coccinelle transform strings, and second to get rid of now
superfluous error_propagate().

We now use or propagate the original error whole instead of just its
message obtained with error_get_pretty().  This avoids suppressing its
hint (see commit 50b7b00), but I can't see how the errors touched in
this commit could come with hints.  It also improves the message
printed with &error_abort when we screw up (see commit 1e9b65b).
