Markus Armbruster 789f1adefb hw/remote/vfio-user: Clean up error reporting
VFU_OBJECT_ERROR() reports the error with error_setg(&error_abort,
...) when auto-shutdown is enabled, else with error_report().

Issues:

1. The error is serious enough to warrant aborting the process when
auto-shutdown is enabled, yet harmless enough to permit carrying on
when it's disabled.  This makes no sense to me.

2. Like assert(), &error_abort is strictly for programming errors.  Is
this one?  Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy tells me it's not.  Should we
exit(1) instead?

3. qapi/error.h advises "don't error_setg(&error_abort, ...), use
assert()."

This patch addresses just 3.  It adds a FIXME comment for the other
two.
