From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In library functions, we do want to avoid the (simple, but rather final) `die()` calls, instead returning with a value indicating an error.

Let's do exactly that in the code introduced in b66885a30cb8 (range-diff: add section header instead of diff header, 2019-07-11) that wants to error out if a diff header could not be parsed.
