Improve error handling in llvm-dwarfdump

[aprantl]

Summary

Without this patch we're only showing a generic error message derived from the error code to the end user.

This test looks somewhat tangential to the code change?

I think the code would be a lot simpler if you switched which is the "base" error reporting function. If I'm not mistaken, you can use toString to convert an Error into an error message. You could convert an error code to an Error and report things that way. Approximate code:

static void error(StringRef Prefix, Error Err) {
  if (!Err)
    return;
  WithColor::error() << Prefix << ": " << toString(std::move(Err)) << "\n";
  exit(1);  
}

static void error(StringRef Prefix, std::error_code EC) {
  error(errorCodeToError(EC));
}

I was going to suggest the same thing, so +1 from me

Without the patch you would see Invalid data was encountered while parsing the file.

Thanks, this is much cleaner!

It wasn't clear to me that toString was able to deal with BinaryError.

LGTM. If you want to bring back the test in a separate patch, that's absolutely fine (it sounds like there is some missing test coverage from what you said).

Nit: looks like there's some trailing whitespace here.

LGTM. If you want to bring back the test in a separate patch,

I forgot to git-add it before uploading the patch....

This breaks check-llvm http://45.33.8.238/linux/49596/step_12.txt

Please take a look, and please revert if it takes a bit to fix.
