feat(users/Profpatsch): add die_* helpers for semantic exit errors r/2176

There is this semantic exit code schema championed by execline and
skaware tooling, and we refined and documented it a bit in lorri
https://github.com/nix-community/lorri/blob/d1d673d42090f0cfe8ab9b92b465315a9e7d30a3/src/ops/mod.rs#L24-L35
in the past.

This just transcribes the error messages into simple helper functions.

Applies the functions to the places where we would panic or die
`sys::exit()` instead.
