fetch --prune: exit with error if pruning fails

When pruning refs fails, we print an error to stderr, but still
exit 0 from 'git fetch'.  Since this is a genuine error, fetch
should be exiting with some non-zero exit code.  Make it so.

The --prune option was introduced in f360d84 ("builtin-fetch: add
--prune option", 2009-11-10).  Unfortunately it's unclear from that
commit whether ignoring the exit code was an oversight or
intentional, but it feels like an oversight.
