[aot] Fixed ti_get_last_error signature (#7165)

Issue: #

### Brief Summary

Initially `ti_get_last_error` returns `TI_EROR_TRUNCATED` to hint the
user that the message output is not complete (because the buffer size is
insufficient), but this 'non-failing' error code has been removed in
later commits. So at this point this API doesn't have a reliable way to
know whether the error message is complete. This is considered
problematic.
