[PATCH 04/13] revert: Propogate errors upwards from do_pick_commit

[Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com>]

Earlier, revert_or_cherry_pick only used to return a non-negative
number or die.  Change this so that it can return negative values too;
postive return values indicate conflicts, while negative ones indicate
other errors, and this return status is propogated updwards from
do_pick_commit, to be finally handled in cmd_cherry_pick and
cmd_revert.  While revert_or_cherry_pick can still die due to several
other reasons, this patches attempts to factor out some of the die
calls.  In the same spirit, also introduce a new function
error_dirty_index, based on die_dirty_index which prints some hints
and returns an error to its caller do_pick_commit.
