Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()

There are many calls to die() that do, or should, report
strerror(errno) to indicate how the syscall they guard failed.
Introduce a small helper function for this case.

Note:

- POSIX says vsnprintf can modify errno in some unlikely cases, so we
  have to use errno early.

- We take some care to pass the original format to die_routine(), in
  case someone wants to call die_errno() with custom format
  characters.
