Summary:
This patch changes a few methods to return Error instead of manually calling error/reportError to abort. This will make it easier to extract into a library.
Note that error() takes just a string (this patch also adds an overload that takes an Error), while reportError() takes string + [error/code]. To help unify things, use FileError to associate a given filename with an error. Note that this takes some special care (for now), e.g. calling reportError(FileName, <something that could be FileError>) will duplicate the filename. The goal is to eventually remove reportError() and have every error associated with a file to be a FileError, and just one error handling block at the tool level.
This change was suggested in D56806. I took it a little further than suggested, but completely fixing llvm-objcopy will take a couple more patches. If this approach looks good, I'll commit this and apply similar patche(s) for the rest.
This change is NFC in terms of non-error related code, although the error message changes in one context.
