There're a lot of cases where we only have an errno set in last_error but
without a detailed error description.  When this happens, try to generate
an error contains the errno as a descriptive error.

This will be helpful in cases where one relies on the Error*.  E.g.,
migration state only caches Error* in MigrationState.error.  With this,
we'll display correct error messages in e.g. query-migrate when the error
was only set by qemu_file_set_error().
