Pull request #526 (2023-05-23 13:28:47)

Create new error types in proc.go and use them to unify error messages
Start using new errors to unify error messages, complete with groundwork for wrapping errors once Go v1.20+ is the default

conallob: https://github.com/prometheus/procfs/issues/519 already exists to track wrapping errors, once Go v1.20 is the default version
