Message:

Housekeeping list, complete lingering things before they get forgotten:

• cli_*() now sets a global cli_errno, error functions cleaned up
• Finish internal cli_*() functions in util.c
• Don't expose cli_init() or cli_finit()
• Get rid of unused globals
• Don't set globals in commands themselves
• Update README files
• Fix stale comments
