vcs-svn: allow input errors to be detected promptly
The line_buffer library silently flags input errors until
buffer_deinit time; unfortunately, by that point usually errno is
invalid. Expose the error flag so callers can check for and
report errors early for easy debugging.

if (buffer_ferror(buf))
return error("input error: %s", strerror(errno));
