John Snow 2d26741fc5 python: backport 'Change error classes to have better repr methods'
By passing all of the arguments to the base class and overriding the
__str__ method when we want a different "human readable" message that
isn't just printing the list of arguments, we can ensure that all custom
error classes have a reasonable __repr__ implementation.

In the case of ExecuteError, the pseudo-field that isn't actually
correlated to an input argument can be re-imagined as a read-only
property; this forces consistency in the class and makes the repr output
more obviously correct.

QMP Error Classes
This package seeks to provide semantic error classes that are intended
to be used directly by clients when they would like to handle particular
semantic failures (e.g. "failed to connect") without needing to know the
enumeration of possible reasons for that failure.
QMPError serves as the ancestor for all exceptions raised by this
package, and is suitable for use in handling semantic errors from this
library. In most cases, individual public methods will attempt to catch
and re-encapsulate various exceptions to provide a semantic
error-handling interface.
