batch mode needs to stop on the line that fails. That said, batch still
fails with the /exit/return/ change

$ cat /tmp/ip.batch
li sh
li foo
li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2

Current command
$ ip -batch /tmp/ip.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

<link list snipped>
Command "foo" is unknown, try "ip link help".
$ echo $?
255

$ ip/ip -batch /tmp/ip.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode

I like that better because it tells me the line that fails.
