This change is a preparation for another change that makes all callback
types return a Go error instead of an error code / an integer. That is
going to make make things a lot more idiomatic.

The reason this change is split is threefold:

a) This change is mostly mechanical and should contain no semantic
changes.
b) This change is backwards-compatible (in the Go API compatibility
sense of the word), and thus can be backported to all other releases.
c) It makes the other change a bit smaller and more focused on just one
thing.

Concretely, this change makes all callbacks populate a Go error when
they fail. If the callback is invoked from the same stack as the
function to which it was passed (e.g. for Tree.Walk), it will preserve
the error object directly into a struct that also holds the callback
function. Otherwise if the callback is pased to one func and will be
invoked when run from another one (e.g. for Repository.InitRebase),
the error string is saved into the libgit2 thread-local storage and then
re-created as a GitError.

(cherry picked from commit 5d8eaf7)
