/// Examples:
///
/// ```
/// let rv = 0;  // All good!
/// tskit::error::panic_on_tskit_error(rv);
/// let rv = 1;  // Probably something like a new node id.
/// tskit::error::panic_on_tskit_error(rv);
/// ```

/// This will panic:

/// ```should_panic
/// let rv = -202; // "Node out of bounds error"
/// tskit::error::panic_on_tskit_error(rv);
/// ```

/// tskit returns 0 when there's no error:
/// ```
/// let x = tskit::error::get_tskit_error_message(0);
/// assert_eq!(x, "Normal exit condition. This is not an error!");
/// ```
///
/// Values > 0 are considered errors, but have no known type/cause.
/// tskit never returns error codes > 0 and there should be no attempt
/// to ever do so by client code.
///
/// ```
/// let x = tskit::error::get_tskit_error_message(1);
/// assert_eq!(x, "Unknown error");
/// ```
///
/// Values < 0 may have known causes:
///
/// ```
/// let x = tskit::error::get_tskit_error_message(-207);
/// assert!(x.contains("Individual out of bounds"));
/// ```
///
/// # Panics
///
/// This function must allocate a C string, which may panic
/// if the system runs out of memory.
