From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Use init_xbc_with_error() for all bootconfig initialization in the
bootconfig tool instead of showing errors in different way.

This simplifies the code logic and make it easy to maintain.

Can we remove this? xbc_init() already copies buf and does not change
it, so show_xbc_error() can use buf directly.
