error: error_setg_errno(): errno gets preserved
C11 allows errno to be clobbered by pretty much any library function
call, so in general callers need to take care to save errno before
calling other functions.
However, for error reporting functions this is rather awkward and can
make the code on the caller side more complicated than
necessary. error_setg_errno() already takes care of preserving errno
and some functions rely on that, so just promise that we continue to
do so in the future.
