C API: Make nix_err_msg treat NIX_OK as having no message

The documentation "solved" this by specifying a precondition, but
let's just make it more robust, and not leak irrelevant messages
that might linger.
We don't clear the message when clearing the status, in order to
keep clearing fast; see last_err field doc.
