* Use 0/1 instead of sysexits. Man pages are confusing on this topic,
but 0/1 is sufficient for nvmecontrol.
* Use err function family where possible instead of fprintf/exit.
* Fix some typing errors.
* Clean up some error message inconsistencies.

a new firmware command.
NVMe controllers may support up to 7 firmware slots for storing of
different firmware revisions. This new firmware command supports
firmware replacement (i.e. firmware download) with or without immediate
activation, or activation of a previously stored firmware image. It
also supports selection of the firmware slot during replacement
operations, using IDENTIFY information from the controller to
check that the specified slot is valid.
Newly activated firmware does not take effect until the new controller
reset, either via a reboot or separate 'nvmecontrol reset' command to the
same controller.
