Neither the VNC or SPICE code for password changes provides error
reporting at source, leading the callers to report a largely useless
generic error message.

Fixing this removes one of the two remaining needs for the undesirable
error_printf_unless_qmp() method.

While fixing this the error message hint is improved to recommend the
'password-secret' option which allows securely passing a password at
startup.
