[PATCH v2 3/8] qapi/error: Make QAPISourceError 'col' parameter optional

[John Snow]

It's already treated as optional, with some callers and subclasses
passing 'None'. Make it officially optional, which requires moving the
position of the argument to come after all required parameters.

QAPISemError becomes functionally identical to QAPISourceError. Keep the
name to preserve its semantic meaning and avoid code churn, but remove
the now-useless __init__ wrapper.
