[sponsor-patch] Exits, deleting temporary directory, when dput fails.

[Iain Lane]

Full disclosure: I'm using dput-ng. I have DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-i -ICVS -I.svn -I_darcs -I.git -I.bzr -us -uc"

I tried to sponsor a patch. dput failed because the source package changesfile and dsc weren't signed.

sponsor-patch then exited. After this the working files had been deleted so I had to rebuild the source package.

It'd be good to handle this specific case and run debsign for the user, but also more generally to trap failures of spawned programs and offer the user the chance to fix stuff up rather than deleting the temporary files outright.
