*: Move die() into .local/bin/helpers.sh

The function `die` was redundantly implemented in various files.

Move the function into .local/bin/helpers.sh and source that where
previously implemented.

Also prepend the program's name to the message and always terminate the
message with a newline. The newline was previously needed for a small
but unnecessary hack that prevented the need of the `[ -z "$1" ]` test.
