It might be nice to have a helper function that checks to make sure there is an error string on error cases and if there is no error string when error.Success() is false or error.Fail() is true, then set the error string to "unknown error".

AFAICT, `SBError::GetCString` calls `Status::AsCString` which has a default argument `const char *default_error_str = "unknown error"`. So it sounds like this issue is already taken care of down below. If we are still getting null strings for failed SBErrors, maybe we need to fix something else instead of adding another layer here.
