Have the VMS exit code follow POSIX conventions
It seems like the convention for VMS exit codes is to combine the VMS
C facility code (0x35a000) with a recoded exit code as follows:
0 => 1
1-255 => 8*code + 2
We also add 0x10000000, which is the control bit that has DCL not
report the error on the terminal. That's just as well, since it would
be quite nonsensical, for example:
%C-W-NOMSG, Message number 0035A018
We could do all this by using the normal exit() function after having
defined the macro _POSIX_EXIT. Unfortunately, this feature only
exists in VMS C V7.1 and up.
