This was IZ 2032 in project gridengine.

handle_vi_edit has a number of restrictions, esp. its error handling,
and needs cleanup.

We need:
- variable number of success messages (currently restricted to four)
- variable number of error messages (currently restricted to a single message,
big problem!!)
- a parameter (raise_error), if an error (mail) shall be generated in case of
errors. We need this for negative tests.

For a way how to do error handling, see handle_sge_errors function.

Once this issue is fixed, reactivate certain tests in check function
qconf_modify_checkpoint in qconf test.
