    libctf: propagate errors from parents correctly
    
    CTF dicts have per-dict errno values: as with other errno values these
    are set on error and left unchanged on success.  This means that all
    errors *must* set the CTF errno: if a call leaves it unchanged, the
    caller is apt to find a previous, lingering error and misinterpret
    it as the real error.
    
    There are many places in libctf where we carry out operations on parent
    dicts as a result of carrying out other user-requested operations on
    child dicts (e.g. looking up information on a pointer to a type will
    look up the type as well: the pointer might well be in a child and the
    type it's a pointer to in the parent).  Those operations on the parent
    might fail; if they do, the error must be correctly reflected on the
    child that the user-visible operation was carried out on.  In many
    places this was not happening.
    
    So, audit and fix all those places.  Add tests for as many of those
    cases as possible so they don't regress.
    
    libctf/
            * ctf-create.c (ctf_add_slice): Use the original dict.
            * ctf-lookup.c (ctf_lookup_variable): Propagate errors.
            (ctf_lookup_symbol_idx): Likewise.
            * ctf-types.c (ctf_member_next): Likewise.
            (ctf_type_resolve_unsliced): Likewise.
            (ctf_type_aname): Likewise.
            (ctf_member_info): Likewise.
            (ctf_type_rvisit): Likewise.
            (ctf_func_type_info): Set the error on the right dict.
            (ctf_type_encoding): Use the original dict.
            * testsuite/libctf-writable/error-propagation.*: New test.
