Don't we already have a way to use QMP keys that collide with C keywords
(for example, "unix" in qapi's SocketAddress becomes "q_unix" in C)?
Why can't we reuse that mechanism, and just add "errno" to the polluted
words list so that the generated C code uses "q_errno" rather than
having to invent an "error" alias?
