Make awesome-client exit with a meaningful value on error
As discussed on #awesome, the attached patch makes awesome-client exit with a meaningful value (i.e. that of errno) when it encounters an error. Since the most frequent error with awesome-client is a mismatch in the socket path, there is an explicit case for ENOENT errors. I thought of adding a matching fprintf in awesome.c, but you can tell what socket awesome is listening on by looking at what ~/.awesome_ctl.* file you have. CAVEAT: Exiting on error may break setups such as: while true; do echo "some text" done | /path/to/awesome-client which relied on awesome-client continuing to send to the given socket (although failing) until EOF was encountered on stdin.
