explain_symlink_or_die - make a new name for a file and report errors

Description

       The  explain_symlink_or_die  function  is  used  to  call  the  symlink(2)  system  call.   On failure an
       explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_symlink(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_symlink_or_die(oldpath, newpath);

       oldpath The oldpath, exactly as to be passed to the symlink(2) system call.

       newpath The newpath, exactly as to be passed to the symlink(2) system call.

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