silence some -Wuninitialized false positives

There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and
provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they
always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence
some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings.

One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the
header file so that the compiler can see that they always
return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g.,
it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders
our change pointless.

Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in
the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant
return value obvious to the compiler.
