Remove os.Exit callsites below the entrypoint: phase 3 (plans/exit.md) (#2204)
Phase 3 of plans/exit.md: the streaming-interface change, the load-bearing
piece for #341 (DSL exit statement) and #440 (strict mode).

- RecordTransformer.Transform and RecordTransformerFunc now return error.
  All 69 Transform implementations and their dispatch helpers updated
  (mechanical rewrite, compiler- and errcheck-verified).
- runSingleTransformerBatch, on a Transform error, forwards any output
  produced before the failure plus an end-of-stream marker downstream, so
  the rest of the chain and the record-writer drain and finish cleanly;
  runSingleTransformer then surfaces the error to stream.Stream's select
  loop (non-blocking send; first error wins) and signals upstream-done so
  the record-reader stops. This is exactly the flush-then-exit sequencing a
  future DSL 'exit N' needs.
- dataProcessingErrorChannel and FileOutputHandler.recordErroredChannel are
  now chan error instead of chan bool; ChannelWriter still prints write-
  error details at the site and sends the 'exiting due to data error'
  sentinel, preserving the exact stderr shape pinned by regression cases.
- Mid-stream os.Exit sites converted to returned errors: put/filter DSL
  begin/main/end-block errors and the non-boolean filter-expression case,
  tee write/close failures, split write/open/close failures, join left-file
  ingest failures (both half-streaming and sorted paths, with full error
  plumbing through JoinBucketKeeper), histogram/stats2 ingest errors, surv
  fit errors, and step stepper allocation (tStepperAllocator now returns
  (tStepper, error); bad EWMA coefficients propagate; negative slwin
  parameters are reported by the CLI parser via the existing
  bad-stepper-name pattern).
- The two genuinely internal join-bucket-keeper states now use
  lib.InternalCodingErrorWithMessageIf instead of hand-rolled print+exit.
- pkg/transformers is now os.Exit-free.

Behavior notes: the non-boolean filter message gains the standard 'mlr: '
prefix and a newline (it previously printed with neither); tee errors now
include the underlying cause. All 4779 regression cases pass unchanged;
mlr head early-out latency is unaffected (0.02s over 50M records).

Logic for formatting output records as strings to standard output.

There is one record-writer type per supported output file format, and a factory method.
