Subject: [PATCH/WIP v3 02/31] wrapper: implement xfopen()

From: Paul Tan <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 19:25:14 +0800

A common usage pattern of fopen() is to check if it succeeded, and die()
if it failed:

	FILE *fp = fopen(path, "w");
	if (!fp)
		die_errno(_("could not open '%s' for writing"), path);

Implement a wrapper function xfopen() for the above, so that we can save
a few lines of code and make the die() messages consistent.
