teach sparse about -fmax-errors

Currently, the maximum number of displayed errors is 100.
This is nice to not be flooded with error messages when things
are really broken but in some situation, for example testing,
it is desirable to have all error messages.

So, teach sparse about '-fmax-errors=COUNT'.
