Some time ago, i simplified mandoc_msg() such that it can be used

everywhere and not only in the parsers.
For more uniform messages, use it at more places instead of err(3),
in particular in the main program.
While here, integrate a few trivial functions called at exactly one
place into the main option parser, and let a few more functions use
the normal convention of returning 0 for success and -1 for error.
