libreboot-utils: unified error handling

i now use a singleton hook function per program:
nvmutil, mkhtemp and lottery

call this at the startup of your program:

(void) errhook(exit_cleanup);

then provide that function. make it static,
so that each program has its own version.

if you're writing a program that handles lots
of files for example, and you want to do certain
cleanup on exit (including error exit), this can
be quite useful.
