    When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
    and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:
    
      1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
         about to exit.  Nor do we need to clean up our
         tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
         us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.
    
      3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
         does technically change our exit code, but the exit
         code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
         probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
         "completed successfully, but there were differences".
    
    And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
    translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
    more like our other messages.
