cherry-pick/revert: Use error() for failure message

When cherry-pick fails after picking a large series of commits, it can
be hard to pick out the error message and advice.  Clarify the error
and prefix it with “error: ” to help.

Before:

Automatic cherry-pick failed.  [...advice...]

After:

error: could not apply 7ab78c9... Do something neat.
[...advice...]
