explain_chown_or_die - change ownership of a file and report errors

Description

       The  explain_chown_or_die  function  is used to call the chown(2) system call.  On failure an explanation
       will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_chown(3), and then the  process  terminates  by  calling
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
              explain_chown_or_die(pathname, owner, group);

       pathname
               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call.

       owner   The owner, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call.

       group   The group, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call.

       Returns:
               This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
