As -e fault= injection syntax has been extended to configure various kinds
of injections besides fault injection, the original option name became too
narrow.

After some discussions, I moved signal injection and syscall return value
injection features to a new -e inject= option intended for all kinds of
injections supported by strace.

Being a part of released strace version, -e fault= options remains
supported as an interface to specify syscall fault injection.
