tap: More detailed error reporting in tap_ns_tun()

There are several possible failure points in tap_ns_tun(), but if anything
goes wrong, we just set tun_ns_fd to -1 resulting in the same error
message.

Add more detailed error reporting to the various failure points.  At the
same time, we know this is only called from tap_sock_tun_init() which will
terminate pasta if we fail, so we can simplify things a little because we
don't need to close() the fd on the failure paths.
