Documentation for strbuf_read_file() in strbuf.h does not state that
'errno' has any meaningful value when this function fails, however,
the actual implementation in strbuf.c is careful to preserve 'errno'
when something goes wrong. Therefore, it is safe to consult 'errno'
here. Fine.
It might be a good idea to fix the documentation of strbuf_read_file()
to mention 'errno' explicitly, as a preparatory patch of this series
(though not at all a requirement when re-rolling; just a suggestion to
assist reviewers).
