[PATCH 04/18] notes.h/c: Propagate combine_notes_fn return value to add_note() and beyond

[Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>]

The combine_notes_fn functions uses a non-zero return value to indicate
failure. However, this return value was converted to a call to die()
in note_tree_insert().

Instead, propagate this return value out to add_note(), and return it
from there to enable the caller to handle errors appropriately.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
