Another option, not as thorough, but less effort, is changing
die/err/warn default routines to the "porcelain" versions where we do
_("fatal:") internally _with_ die(), not die_(). We can set this for
porcelain commands that we know can be fully i18n-ized. Then maybe
die_() will fill in the gap if there's still need for it.
