Address the comment added in commit 4629ed1e98
("qerror: Finally unused, clean up"), from 2015:

  /*

coccinelle semantic patches:

Misuse of QERR_MISSING_PARAMETER.

This function is interface UserCreatableClass method complete(), which
runs right after an object with this interface was created.
"Parameters" need not exist in this context.

The actual issue is property "addr" has not been set.  So let's report
that: "property 'addr' is required".

Separate patch, to keep this one mechanical.

I suspect pretty much everything you patch in this file is bad, but I'm
running out of steam.

Misuse of QERR_MISSING_PARAMETER.

This is a realize() method.  "Parameters" need not exist in this

The actual issue is property "chardev" has not been set.  So let's
report that: "property 'filename' is required".

Separate patch, to keep this one mechanical.  Not mentioning this again

Bad error message.  The actual issue is both "port" and "tls-port" are
missing, but we need at least one.  So let's report that: "parameter
