memory: Add Error** argument to the global_dirty_log routines

Now that the log_global*() handlers take an Error** parameter and
return a bool, do the same for memory_global_dirty_log_start() and
memory_global_dirty_log_stop(). The error is reported in the callers
for now and it will be propagated in the call stack in the next
changes.

To be noted a functional change in ram_init_bitmaps(), if the dirty
pages logger fails to start, there is no need to synchronize the dirty
pages bitmaps. colo_incoming_start_dirty_log() could be modified in a
similar way.
