Later in the patch series we will use this function few times.
This will avoid of duplicating the code.

This makes a change to the error message that isn't mentioned in the
commit message. It should definitely be mentioned there, but I'm not
even sure if it's a good change. Today you get something like:

    $ qemu-img create -f foo test.img
    qemu-img: Unknown file format 'foo'

With the patch applied it becomes:

    $ qemu-img create -f foo test.img
    qemu-img: qemu-img create failed: Unknown file format 'foo'

Does this add any useful information or does it just make the error
message longer? I feel it's the latter.

Thanks for pointing this out, it should be
qemu_img_handle_error("create failed", local_err);

and later in patch series also
qemu_img_handle_error("snapshot create failed", local_err);

Is that OK after this change?

I would in fact leave the error message as it is today. The "create
failed" doesn't help me understand the error better. I already know that
it's a create command that failed, because it was me who called 'qemu-img
create'.

Yes that's true and make sense, but what if another tool internally uses 
the qemu-img command? I know that the tool could print/return/whatever 
proper error message, but qemu-img could help with that printing more 
information.

Then the tool should prepend any relevant information. We can't guess
all use cases.
