Abort the current test but keep running additional tests if OpenSSL
reports an error during a test. This matches the behavior for other
tests such as an error from OCF.

Why would openssl return an error?
These errors don't get propagated up so cryptocheck may still exit with status 0 after an error. Is that reasonable?
When OpenSSL 3.0 removes support for IV sizes for chacha20 for example. :(

That is true of non-OpenSSL errors today, so is at least consistent. If we wanted to propagate errors we could perhaps add a global boolean that determines the return value from main. Some errors we might want to ignore though which is the hard part. OCF doesn't implement AES-XTS with small payload sizes for example, and I think two of the small tests (single byte payload) when doing -a all -z have identical cipher and plain text because the first byte of the keystream is 0x00. I generally redirect stdout/stderr to a file and use diff or a side-by-side tool like kompare.
