exec_child() is supposed to set *exit_status when returning failure. Unfortunately, we didn't do that in two cases. The result would be: - a bogus error message "Failed at step SUCCESS spawning foo: …", - a bogus success exit status. Bugs introduced in 390902012c5177b6b01bc634b2e9c704073d9e7d and ad21e542b20f0fb292d1958d3a759bf3403522c2. The code is reworked to add some asserts and not set exit_status in the caller so that it's clearer (also to the compiler) that it needs to be set.
