Jeff King 7e41061588 checkout-index: propagate errors to exit code
If we encounter an error while checking out an explicit path, we print a
message to stderr but do not actually exit with a non-zero code. While
this is a plumbing command and the behavior goes all the way back to
33db5f4d90 (Add a "checkout-cache" command which does what the name
suggests., 2005-04-09), this is almost certainly an oversight:

  - we _do_ return an exit code from checkout_file(); the caller just
    never reads it

  - errors while checking out all paths (with "-a") do result in a
    non-zero exit code.

  - it would be quite unusual not to use the exit code for an error,
    as otherwise the caller has no idea the command failed except by
    scraping stderr

To keep our tests simple and portable, we can use the most obvious
error: asking to checkout a path which is not in the index at all.
