Message:
Change set_fromstring to die on failure

Returning zero/non-zero is awkward. Leave a note for future improvement
to pass the error message along, although the default one is pretty
reasonable already.

    514508The get/set functions are required. Note that the caller manages storage for the
    515509variable. get_tostring/set_fromstring both convert AND store the value.
    516 set_fromstring returns 0 on success.
     510set_fromstring dies on failure.

     535      # Translate from user-supplied die-on-failure callback to expected
     536      # non-zero on error. Less of a nuisance than interacting with ERRSV.
     537      eval { $args{set_fromstring}->($val) };
     538      # TODO: Consider changing B::I::new_variable to expect string|NULL with
     539      # string as the error message. That can then be translated to a GError in
     540      # owl_variable_set_fromstring. For now the string is ignored.
