[RFC PATCH 2/7] lib/cpio: Improve error handling

[Jonathan McDowell]

As preparation for making the cpio parsing routines more generally
available improve the error handling such that we pass back a suitable
errno rather than a string message, and correctly exit execution when
such an error is raised.
