Subject: [PATCH] qemu: monitor: Produce better errors on monitor hangup

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001738

Change the monitor error code to add the ability to access the qemu log
file using a file descriptor so that we can dig in it for a more useful
error message. The error is now logged on monitor hangups and overwrites
a possible lesser error. A hangup on the monitor usualy means that qemu
has crashed and there's a significant chance it produced a useful error
message.

The functionality will be latent until the next patch.

(cherry picked from commit 90139a6236eb20a5cd2595af39ea11adae7d54de)
