virt-login-shell: saner exit value

virt-login-shell was exiting with status 0, regardless of what the
wrapped shell returned.  This is unkind to users; we should behave
more like env(1), nice(1), su(1), and other wrapper programs, by
preserving the invoked application's status (which includes the
distinction between death due to signal vs. normal death).

* tools/virt-login-shell.c (main): Pass through child exit status.
* tools/virt-login-shell.pod: Document exit status.
