[PATCH v2 5/6] usage.c + gc: add and use a die_message_errno()

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

Change the "error: " output when we exit with 128 due to gc.log errors
to use a "fatal: " prefix instead. To do this add a
die_message_errno() a sibling function to the die_errno() added in a
preceding commit.

Before this we'd expect report_last_gc_error() to return -1 from
error_errno() in this case. It already treated a status of 0 and 1
specially. Let's just document that anything that's not 0 or 1 should
be returned.

We could also retain the "ret < 0" behavior here without hardcoding
128 by returning -128, and having the caller do a "return -ret", but I
think this makes more sense, and preserves the path from
die_message*()'s return value to the "return" without hardcoding
"128".
