[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: proper error reporting for fsm operations (Issue #3114)

[Panu Matilainen]

#3100 started life as a report on unintelligible error message on install failure, and it's far from an isolated case. When an occurs inside the fsm, we save the path but not the errno. and when the error eventually does get reported there have been any arbitrary number of places that could, and often have, modified it. So what goes back to the user is unintelligible at best, misleading at worst.

We need a better error reporting mechanism than rpmfileStrerror(), one that stores the actual context and result of the failure.
