#317 new enhancement

Upgrade lwerror() to return file/linenumber information in error messages

Description

Right now LWDEBUGF() returns delightful contextual information, but the errors we show to our end users do not. That means (usually) the function names get manually embedded in the error strings for content. It would be nice to have that information by default, so error strings can spend their time being descriptive (or not).

Do we actually want to do this? The function/line numbers won't mean anything to an end user, though they would be nice to have in a bug report.

I think we'll have to change lwerror to a macro from a function. Presumably nothing is attempting to take the address of lwerror.

I think its more so when a user sends an error its more helpful to us for debugging.
