Customizable error handlers

This patch makes the usage(), die() and error() handlers customizable.
Nothing in the git code itself uses that but many other libgit users
(like Git.pm) will.

This is implemented using the mutator functions primarily because you
cannot directly modifying global variables of libgit from a program that
dlopen()ed it, apparently. But having functions for that is a better API
anyway.
