IMPORTANT: this BREAKS qemu-ga compatibility for the error response.

Instead of returning something like:

{ "error": { "class": "InvalidParameterValue",
             "data": {"name": "mode", "expected": "halt|powerdown|reboot" } } }

qemu-ga now returns:

 { "error": { "class": "GenericError",
              "desc": "Parameter 'mode' expects halt|powerdown|reboot" } }

Notice that this is also a bug fix, as qemu-ga wasn't returning the
human message.

Specific error responses weren't part of the documented API, so I think
anything reliant on those is making invalid assumptions; there
should always be a catch-all for unknown/unexpected error
messages/error payloads.

So, if the libvirt folks are okay with it:

The only use libvirt made of existing qemu-ga errors was to stringify
them in order to pass on an error message to the user when a command
failed.  Existing libvirt attempts to look up the 'desc' field, and when
it is lacking, then attempts to stringify the 'class' field based on a
finite list of known classes.  Qemu is now shrinking the list of known
classes but providing a 'desc' field, so the error message quality in
libvirt will actually improve.  After reading libvirt's
src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, I don't see any problem with this patch from
libvirt's point of view.

Yeah, I actually have a request from Michal to do just that (add 'desc'
to qemu-ga's errors).
