Ichthyostega a90b9e5f16 Library: uniform definition scheme for error-IDs
In the Lumiera code base, we use C-String constants as unique error-IDs.
Basically this allows to create new unique error IDs anywhere in the code.

However, definition of such IDs in arbitrary namespaces tends to create
slight confusion and ambiguities, while maintaining the proper use statements
requires some manual work.

Thus I introduce a new **standard scheme**
 * Error-IDs for widespread use shall be defined _exclusively_ into `namespace lumiera::error`
 * The shorthand-Macro `LERR_()` can now be used to simplify inclusion and referral
 * (for local or single-usage errors, a local or even hidden definition is OK)
