This patch series is bunch of cleanups
to the hmp monitor code.

This series only touched blockdev related hmp handlers.

No functional changes expected other that
light error message changes by the last patch.

This was inspired by this bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1719169

Basically some users still parse hmp error messages,
and they would like to have them prefixed with 'Error:'



[...]

The bug was reported at the time when libvirt didn't use blockdev yet,
but at this point it's pointless from our side.

Just for the record, this bug was the motivation for the prefix request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1718255

This wouldn't even fix
the scenario when old (pre-5.10) libvirt would use new qemu because the
drive-add handler never checked the error prefix.

And running older libvirt with newer QEMU is not something we care
about.

Thank you for the report from libvirtville :)
