Avoid #define _error, use anonymous C++ struct instead
Replace the macro with an anonymous struct that provides an inline operator->() returning the _error pointer. This change is ABI compatible, and the inline macro is not exported. We should consider if we want to avoid the function call and directly export the thread_local variable instead, when we do break ABI. Closes: #948338
