scripts/sortextable: Rewrite error/success handling

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.6-rc1
commit 3c47b787
category: feature
bugzilla: NA
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

The scripts/sortextable.c code has originally copied some code from
scripts/recordmount.c, which used the same setjmp/longjmp method to
manage control flow.

Meanwhile recordmcount has improved its error handling via:

   3f1df120 ("recordmcount: Rewrite error/success handling").

So rewrite this part of sortextable as well to get rid of the setjmp/longjmp
kludges, with additional refactoring, to make it more readable and
easier to extend.

No functional changes intended.
