Add facilities to report and enrich error messages. 

The idea is that a given error should be reported only once to the user.
At the moment, for example, we can get:
- "no suitable access module" (printed by module_Need)
 - "unable to create access" (printed by input/access)
 - "unable to open stream" (printed by input/input)
 - ...

The facilities provided here are:
* msg_StackSet( code, message ) : "throw" a new error
* msg_StackAdd( message ) : Append a message allowing to trace the message
* msg_StackMsg() : Retrieve the message

So, in the previous example, module_Need would msg_StackSet( code, "no
suitable access module"), then input/input would add "unable to create
access" and finally, input/input can print the "unable to open stream:
unable to create access: no suitable module" message.

The three functions are context-free, you don't need a vlc_object, so
that we can add verbose error reporting everywhere.
