Starting error messages with a capital letter complicates things when
text can get interpolated both at the beginning and in the middle of
an error message. The next patch will do that. Switch to lower case
to keep it simpler.
For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards advise the message
"should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name
and/or file name, because that isn’t the beginning of a sentence. (The
sentence conceptually starts at the beginning of the line.)"
While there, avoid breaking lines containing multiple arguments in the
middle of an argument.

We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
But not always:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
I'll take care of that later in this series.

Test flat-union-optional-discriminator declares its union tag as
'*switch': 'Enum', and points to it with 'discriminator': '*switch'.
This gets rejected as "discriminator of flat union 'MyUnion' uses
invalid name '*switch'". Correct; member 'discriminator' doesn't
accept a '*' prefix.
However, this merely tests name validity checking, which we already
cover elsewhere. More interesting is testing the valid name 'switch'.
This reports "discriminator 'switch' is not a member of base struct
'Base'", which is misleading.
Copy the existing 'discriminator': '*switch' test to
flat-union-discriminator-bad-name, and rewrite its comment. Change
flat-union-optional-discriminator to test 'discriminator': 'switch',
and mark it FIXME.
