Stop an unhandled error from exiting zero
An unhandled error could kill the process and still report success. The
default handler ended in exit(errctx->status), and an exit status is one
byte wide: the kernel keeps the low 8 bits of the argument and discards
the rest. Consumer statuses start at AKERR_FIRST_CONSUMER_STATUS (256),
so the first status any consumer can reserve exited 0 and a shell saw a
clean run. Status 300 exited 44, an unrelated error's code.

There is no wider exit() to reach for. _exit(), _Exit(), quick_exit()
and the raw exit_group syscall all truncate identically, and even
waitid(), whose si_status is a full int, reports the truncated value --
the truncation happened before the parent looked.

akerr_exit() now owns that mapping and the default handler calls it: 0
exits 0, 1 through 255 exit the status, and anything else exits
AKERR_EXIT_STATUS_UNREPRESENTABLE (125) rather than a low byte that is
either a lie or a claim of success. Only values that were already being
delivered wrong behave differently. Call it instead of exit() anywhere
you leave the process on a status; it is declared AKERR_NORETURN.

akerr_exit(0) exits 0, because 0 is this library's success status. That
is not a hole in the rule: PROCESS opens with case 0, which marks a zero
status handled, so a successful context never reaches FINISH_NORETURN's
call to the handler at all.

tests/err_exit_status.c drives one table through akerr_exit() and
through the default handler in forked children and requires identical
exit codes, so the handler cannot grow a mapping of its own. With the
clamp removed it fails with "akerr_exit(256) exited 0, want 125". The
full-width status was already reaching the log and still does, which the
same test asserts against the captured stack trace.

2.0.1. No ABI break: the soname stays libakerror.so.2 and nothing that
already existed changed shape. akerr_exit() is a new exported symbol, so
a consumer that starts calling it needs 2.0.1 at link time.

# 1.0.0 replaced the consumer-sized __AKERR_ERROR_NAMES array with private
# storage. 2.0.0 makes the library thread safe, which is a second ABI break in
# the same places: __akerr_last_ignored became thread-local storage, and
# ENSURE_ERROR_READY no longer takes the pool reference that akerr_next_error()
# now takes for it. Consumer code compiled against a 1.x header would
# double-count every reference. Hence the major bump and the SOVERSION, so a
# stale installed libakerror.so cannot be silently paired with new headers.
# 2.0.1 fixes the unhandled-error exit code, which reported success for any
# status whose low byte was zero. It adds akerr_exit() but breaks nothing: the
# soname is unchanged and no existing entry point changed shape.
