[PATCH v8 06/41] builtin/apply: make parse_chunk() return a negative integer on error

To libify `git apply` functionality we have to signal errors to the caller instead of die()ing or exit()ing.

To do that in a compatible manner with the rest of the error handling in builtin/apply.c, parse_chunk() should return a negative integer instead of calling die() or exit().

As parse_chunk() is called only by apply_patch() which already returns either -1 or -128 when an error happened, let's make it also return -1 or -128.

This makes it compatible with what find_header() and parse_binary() already return.
