fe_ returns an error on the find command, but we rely
on the only error ever being our intentional exit, upon
discovering files.
in singletree, the directory being checked was already
checked first, so we know it's safe not to err on find;
and find not reporting an error if no files are found is
ok.
on elfcheck, it's very much the same thing. In fact, we
very much want it to return 0 if the directory doesn't
exist, or if files don't exist within it.
Therefore, use fx_ which is designed for this use-case.
Quick re-cap: fx and fe execute a given function name with
each line outputting by find as an argument, each time. It
is somewhat similar in scope to find's -exec command.
We use fe_ as shorthand in several places all over lbmk.

Some parts of lbmk set +u +e, to be reset later on
under normal conditions upon exit. We must ensure
such level of integrity in err() as well.

Rely once again on err_, but still explicitly add an exit
just below, in case I made a mistake one day.
err() is essentially a trap that triggers in case I mess
up an error function, so that it doesn't reliably exit.
So, the idea is that everything calls err(), and err() is
almost never modified, or modified very carefully.
If error exits were ever broken, the result could be quite
unpredictable, so lbmk has very strict error handling, and
great care is taken to ensure that it does reliably exit.

Don't directly call a variable. Call a function that
checks the variable instead.
The new err function also checks whether an exit was
actually done, and exits 1 if not.
If an exit was done by the given function, but the exit
was zero, this is also corrected to perform an exit 1.
This fixes a longstanding design flaw of lbmk.

Always certainly redundant, since if -u -e isn't
set, it'll continue to exit anyway.
However, we want to be pedantic about this, since
the safety of lbmk relies entirely on this function
NOT misbehaving.

In the mk script, we need fx_ to not return errors on the
find command, since it's searching a bunch of directories
where some of them may not exist.
All other instances where fx_ is used, must return an error
if the directory being searched doesn't exist.
For this, fe_() is introduced, which does the same as fx_
but with this much stricter check.

We have a lot of places in lbmk where the output of find is
used, and then some function is executed on the result.
This is messy, and bloats several of these functions.
Now this is unified, into a new function: fx_
What fx_ does is execute a given function, for each result
found, with the arguments for a find command appended.
For example:
find -name ".git"
If you wanted to do: foo "$arg"
Where "arg" is a search result from find, and you wanted
to execute "foo" on each one, you would do:
fx_ foo -name ".git"
The find utility does have an -exec feature, but I've found
that it only works for executables, not functions.
fx_ does not return errors, so "foo" in this example
would have to do its own error handling.

In the previous revision, I make hardcoded use of
/usr/local/bin and /usr/bin as search locations, instead
of relying on PATH, when the user has a python venv, because
in those cases, we cannot rely on PATH so we use a python
command to detect the venv and then force use of the
normal system path for python.
However, there's no guarantee that the real Python will
indeed live at these locations. For example, some distros
like Nix or Guix will use many locations for different
versions of a given package, and it's for the birds as to
what given package version the user might be running.
Therefore, this patch retains that current hardcoded
assumption of /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin but *only* as
a fallback solution, instead checking realpath first.
The "realpath" command isn't technically POSIX standard,
but in practise it is available on GNU coreutils, Busybox,
and the various BSD userlands.
I could perhaps *import* a realpath utility, and use that,
but this should be fine.

If the user has a virtual environment, the current logic
will cause lbmk to hang. A useful workaround is to force
use of the direct path to the system binary of python.
This works by detecting a virtual environment first, and
deferring to the old behaviour if no venv is found. If one
is found, then it will not rely on PATH, but instead only
search the standard locations /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin.

Properly set $pyver to "3" when we detect we can use python3. In the
following version checks, use the $python we detected instead of a
'python' from PATH because the latter might be a python2 while still
co-existing with a python3.

initialising variables, setting PWD, setting version,
this is all unnecessary before the root check, because
the dependencies commands use none of these.
