Lang Hames 5e51a2e31a [Support] Make ErrorAsOutParameter take an Error* rather than an Error&. ...

This allows ErrorAsOutParameter to work better with "optional" errors. For
example, consider a function where for certain input values it is known that
the function can't fail. This can now be written as:

Result foo(Arg X, Error *Err) {
  ErrorAsOutParameter EAO(Err);

  if (<Error Condition>) {
    if (Err)
      *Err = <report error>;
    else
      llvm_unreachable("Unexpected failure!");
  }
}

Rather than having to construct an ErrorAsOutParameter under every conditional
where Err is known to be non-null.
