qdev-properties-system: Change set_pointer's parse callback to use Error

Instead of having set_pointer() call a parse callback which returns
an error number that we then convert to an Error string with
error_set_from_qdev_prop_error(), make the parse callback take an
Error** and set the error itself. This will allow parse routines
to provide more helpful error messages than the generic ones.
