Freeing the error at migration_connect() is redundant in the normal
migration case. The freeing already happened at migrate_init():

qmp_migrate()
-> migrate_prepare()
   -> migrate_init()
-> qmp_migrate_finish()
   -> *_start_outgoing_migration()
   -> migration_channel_connect()
      -> migration_connect()

For the resume case, migrate_prepare() returns early and doesn't reach
migrate_init(). Move the extra migrate_error_free() call to
migrate_prepare() along with the resume check.

Also change migrate_init() to use migrate_error_free(), so it's easier
to see where are the places the error gets freed.
