Subject: [PATCH] error_errno: use constant return similar to error()
Commit e208f9c (make error()'s constant return value more
visible, 2012-12-15) introduced some macro trickery to make
the constant return from error() more visible to callers,
which in turn can help gcc produce better warnings (and
possibly even better code).
Later, fd1d672 (usage.c: add warning_errno() and
error_errno(), 2016-05-08) introduced another variant, and
subsequent commits converted some uses of error() to
error_errno(), losing the magic from e208f9c for those
sites.
As a result, compiling vcs-svn/svndiff.c with "gcc -O3"
produces -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives (at least
with gcc 6.2.0). Let's give error_errno() the same
treatment, which silences these warnings.
