This address both of my concerns: first, that for someone examining
Mechanize-based gitweb test number like 403, or 500 would be magical
number without explanation (reason phrase) other than 'Error'.

Second, that for casual / accidental gitweb developer who has to add
or modify a bit of code with die_error(...) wouldn't know which of
"magic number" to use, if the case didn't fail into described
situation.  Now it is enough to example die_error(...) in addition to
similar code...
