Fix mid-stream error-loss race (flaky exit codes on transformer errors) (#2211)
When a transformer fails mid-stream (e.g. join -s with a malformed left
file), the error could be lost, yielding exit 0 with no stderr message:

- runSingleTransformerBatch forwarded the end-of-stream marker downstream
  before runSingleTransformer sent the error to
  dataProcessingErrorChannel, so the record-writer could finish and signal
  done-writing while the error was still unsent.
- Even with the error buffered, stream.Stream's select loop chooses among
  simultaneously-ready channels at random, and exiting on the done-writing
  signal dropped the buffered error.

Send the error before forwarding the end-of-stream marker (so it is
always buffered before the writer can finish), and drain the error
channels after the select loop exits.

Observed as a one-off Windows CI failure of
test/cases/verb-join/left-file-malformed-sorted, where the same case
passed on automatic rerun within the same job. Reproduced locally by
widening the deschedule window with a sleep between the end-of-stream
forward and the error send: 5/5 runs exited 0 with empty stderr; with
this fix, 200/200 runs exit 1 with the expected message even with
adversarial delays injected on both sides of the end-of-stream forward.

Follow-up to the os.Exit-removal refactor (plans/exit.md, #2204/#2205).

Logic for transforming input records into output records as requested by the user (sort, filter, etc.).:

  • The IRecordTransformer abstract record-transformer interface datatype, as well as the ChainTransformer Go-channel chaining mechanism for piping one transformer into the next.
  • The transformer lookup table, used for Miller command-line parsing, verb construction, and online help.
  • All the concrete record-transformers such as cat, tac, sort, put, and so on.
