src/error.c now scores 81.2%: 238 of 293 mutants killed, 204 by a
failing test, 24 by failing to compile, and 10 by hanging the suite --
deleting akerr_mutex_init() or the akerr_initializing re-entry guard
deadlocks the first test, which is the right answer for a broken lock.
Lock deletions are the one survivor category where surviving does not
mean harmless, so measure it rather than assume: rebuilt, the surviving
"delete the pool lock" mutant fails tests/err_threads_pool.c in 4 of 10
runs and fails under scripts/thread_test.sh in 5 of 5, with no false
positive on the unmutated library. The property assertions alone are a
coin flip on a missing lock; the sanitizer run is what holds that line.
The harness builds mutants with default CMake options and so never sees
it -- TODO item 8.
Also warn that a sanitized test binary run by hand does not inherit the
halt_on_error CTest gives it, and will print a race and still exit 0.
That is how the 5-of-5 above first read as 2 of 5.
