Switch away from sys.exit(error_msg) in dmypy (#5982)

This kills a couple birds with one stone:
 1. It fixes an interaction with the new run_dmypy api where
    that message winds up as the return code instead of in
    stderr.
    This additionally fixes a type unsoundness/mypy_mypyc crash
    caused by SystemExit.code being typed as int.
 2. It allows us to standardize the irregular exit codes of dmypy
    as 2.
