Good diffstat - shows it should be fairly mechanical.

Is it worth a further cleanup on instances like this? That is,
error_propagate(errp, NULL) is a safe no-op, so we can avoid the 'if
(local_err)' conditional. But that should not be in this patch (keep
the mechanical changes easy).

Another example that can be simplified.

This (and other places in test files) chould use
visit_type_TestStruct(v, &p, NULL, &error_abort) and ditch local errp.
But that's a separate patch as well.
