+       tests init: new function 'fatal_', for hard errors
+       Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/init.sh to
+       properly signal a hard error was the `framework_failure_'
+       function.  But the error message issued by that function,
+       as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the
+       testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to
+       other reasons.  The best way to fix this inconsistency is to
+       introduce a new function with a more general error message.
+       * tests/init.sh (fatal_): New function.

+       strerror-override: avoid bloating errno module
+       * modules/errno (Files, configure.ac): Move replacement strings...
