bdrv_img_create() takes an Error ** argument and used it in the
conventional way, except for one place: when qemu_opts_do_parse()
fails, it first reports its error to stderr or the HMP monitor with
error_report_err(), then error_setg()'s a generic error. When the
caller reports that second error similarly, this produces two
consecutive error messages on stderr or the HMP monitor. When the
caller does something else with it, such as send it via QMP, the first
error still goes to stderr or the HMP monitor. Not good.
Turn the first message into a prefix for the second.

This is RFC because I didn't check whether "caller does something else
with it" can actually happen with current code, and I'm not sure the
prefix is wanted. I hope we'll answer both questions during review.
