wc: Stricter simpler error handling

Errors are now always shown with the corresponding filename.

Errors are no longer converted into warnings. Previously `wc < .`
would cause a loop.

Checking whether something is a directory is no longer done in
advance. This removes race conditions and the edge case where stdin is
a directory.

The custom error type is removed because io::Error is now enough.
