json: Pass lexical errors and limit violations to callback

The callback to consume JSON values takes QObject *json, Error *err.
If both are null, the callback is supposed to make up an error by
itself.  This sucks.

qjson.c's consume_json() neglects to do so, which makes
qobject_from_json() null instead of failing.  I consider that a bug.

The culprit is json_message_process_token(): it passes two null
pointers when it runs into a lexical error or a limit violation.  Fix
it to pass a proper Error object then.  Update the callbacks:

* monitor.c's handle_qmp_command(): the code to make up an error is
  now dead, drop it.

* qga/main.c's process_event(): lumps the "both null" case together
  with the "not a JSON object" case.  The former is now gone.  The
  error message "Invalid JSON syntax" is misleading for the latter.
  Improve it to "Input must be a JSON object".

* qobject/qjson.c's consume_json(): no update; check-qjson
  demonstrates qobject_from_json() now sets an error on lexical
  errors, but still doesn't on some other errors.

* tests/libqtest.c's qmp_response(): the Error object is now reliable,
  so use it to improve the error message.
