Error **errp is almost always OUT-argument: it's assumed to be NULL, or pointer to NULL-initialized pointer, or pointer to error_abort or error_fatal, for callee to report error.
But very few functions instead get Error **errp as IN-argument: it's assumed to be set (or, maybe, NULL), and callee should clean it, or add some information. In such cases, rename errp to errp_in. This patch updates only error API functions. There still a few functions with errp-in semantics, they will be updated in further commits.
