df: fix exit code and error messages with --total
When the combination of the file system options with given files or

$ df --total --type=xfs / # when / is not an XFS file system
$ df --total --local -t nfs DIR # nfs is remote per se ...
$ df --total -t qwerty /dev/sdb5 # typo in file system type

df: don't output control characters in a mount point name
It's awkward to read and problematic for scripts when
control characters like '\n' are output.
Note other fields are already handled with mbsalign,
which converts non printable chars to the replacement char.
A caveat to note with that, is the replacement char takes
a place in the field and so possibly truncates the field
if it was the widest field in the records.
Note a more general replacement function, that
handles all printable, or non white space characters,
would require more sophisticated support for various
encodings, and the complexity vs benefit was not
deemed beneficial enough at present.
Perhaps in future a more general replacement function
could be shared between the various utilities.
Note <space> is unaffected in any field,
which could impact scripts processing the output.
However any of the number fields at least could have
spaces considering `LANG=fr_FR df -B\'1`, so it's
probably best to leave spaces, which also allows
scripts to handle mount points with spaces without change.
