split_cmdline: Allow caller to access error string

This allows the caller to add its own error message to that returned
by split_cmdline.  Thus error output following a failed split_cmdline
can be of the form

fatal: Bad alias.test string: cmdline ends with \

rather than

error: cmdline ends with \
fatal: Bad alias.test string
