Main changes:

  • Move msg to the end of errExit (right before perror(3p))
  • Include the full file path (within the repository)
  • Add "()" to function name for clarity

Before:

Error malloc: main.c:123 main: Cannot allocate memory

After:

Error src/firejail/main.c:123 main(): malloc: Cannot allocate memory

Note: This clarifies which is the exact file that the error message
comes from, as there are many source files with the same name. For
example:

$ git ls-files 'src/*/main.c' | wc -l
20

Kind of relates to #3325.

Use errExit in every place that uses __FILE__ and __LINE__ manually.

Note: This currently only happens in the duplicated `is_dir` function.
For increased portability.

The former is in C99, the latter is from gcc.

Make it more similar to the assert() message format for consistency.
Example:

Before:

    firejail: main.c:100: main: Assertion `1 == 2' failed.
    Error src/firecfg/main.c:100 main(): malloc: Cannot allocate memory

After:

    firejail: main.c:100: main: Assertion `1 == 2' failed.
    Error src/firecfg/main.c:100: main: malloc: Cannot allocate memory

This amends commit b963fe4 ("Improve errExit error messages",
2023-06-16) / PR netblue30#5871.

This makes the compile commands clearer when building in parallel (with
`make -j`) and ensures that `__FILE__` includes the full build-time path
(relative to the root of the repository) whenever it is referenced, such
as in failed assert() messages (currently the full path is only shown in
errExit() messages).  Example:

Before:

    firejail: main.c:100: main: Assertion `1 == 2' failed.
    Error src/firecfg/main.c:100: main: malloc: Cannot allocate memory

After:

    firejail: ../../src/firejail/main.c:100: main: Assertion `1 == 2' failed.
    Error ../../src/firecfg/main.c:100: main: malloc: Cannot allocate memory

Commands used to search and replace:

    $ git grep -Ilz '^MOD_DIR =' -- '*Makefile' | xargs -0 -I '{}' \
      sh -c "printf '%s\n' \"\$(sed -E \
        -e 's|^MOD_DIR = src/(.*)|MOD = \\1\\nMOD_DIR = \$(ROOT)/src/\$(MOD)|' \
        -e 's:^(PROG|SO) = [^.]+(\.so)?$:\\1 = \$(MOD_DIR)/\$(MOD)\2:' \
	'{}')\" >'{}'"
    $ git grep -Ilz '^HDRS :=' -- '*.mk' | xargs -0 -I '{}' \
      sh -c "printf '%s\n' \"\$(sed -E \
        -e 's|wildcard (\*\..)|wildcard \$(MOD_DIR)/\\1|' '{}')\" >'{}'"

Note: config.mk.in, src/fnettrace/Makefile and src/include/common.h were
edited manually.

This is a follow-up to netblue30#5871.
