Gilles Peskine 621333f41b Catch failures of AES or DES operations
A DES or AES block operation can fail in alternative implementations of
mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt() (under MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT),
mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt() (under MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT),
mbedtls_des_crypt_ecb() (under MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT),
mbedtls_des3_crypt_ecb() (under MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT).
A failure can happen if the accelerator peripheral is in a bad state.
Several block modes were not catching the error.

This commit does the following code changes:

* Fix DES and AES API calls which ignored the return values:
    * In library code: on failure, goto exit and return ret.
    * In pkey programs: goto exit.
    * In the benchmark program: exit (not ideal since there's no error
      message, but it's what the code currently does for failures).
    * In test code: TEST_ASSERT.
* Changelog entry.

Bugfix
* Failures of alternative implementations of AES or DES single-block
functions enabled with MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT, MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT,
MBEDTLS_DES_CRYPT_ECB_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES3_CRYPT_ECB_ALT were ignored.
This does not concern the implementation provided with Mbed TLS,
where this function cannot fail, or full-module replacements with
MBEDTLS_AES_ALT or MBEDTLS_DES_ALT. Reported by Armelle Duboc in #1092.
