[PATCH 1/4] usage.c: add a die_message() routine

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

We have code in various places that would like to call die(), but
wants to defer the exit(128) it would invoke, e.g. to print an
additional message, or adjust the exit code. Add a die_message()
helper routine to bridge this gap in the API.

Functionally this behaves just like the error() routine, except it'll
print a "fatal: " prefix, and it will return with 128 instead of -1,
this is so that caller can pass the return value to "exit()", instead
of having to hardcode "exit(128)".

A subsequent commit will migrate various callers that benefit from
this function over to it. For now we're just adding the routine and
making die_builtin() in usage.c itself use it.
