shankar0123 b0c4ed1ae2 openssl: add failure_test.go covering 6 shell-out error modes
Closes Top-10 fix #3 of the 2026-05-03 issuer-coverage audit (see
cowork/issuer-coverage-audit-2026-05-03/RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the
OpenSSL adapter (497 LOC, certctl's highest-risk issuer surface)
had openssl_test.go (8 happy-path funcs + 20 subtests) but no
dedicated _failure_test.go. Compare to ACME, Vault, DigiCert,
Sectigo, Entrust, GlobalSign, EJBCA — all peers have one. An
acquirer's diligence team flags this as an immediate blocker on
the highest-risk issuer surface.

This commit adds 6 failure-mode tests:

  1. TestOpenSSL_Issue_ScriptNotFound_OperatorActionableError —
     SignScript path doesn't exist; error wraps os.ErrNotExist
     (errors.Is); message contains 'no such file' / 'not found'
     so the operator's grep finds it in journalctl.
  2. TestOpenSSL_Issue_PermissionDenied_OperatorActionableError —
     SignScript exists with mode 0o600 (non-executable); error
     wraps os.ErrPermission; message contains 'permission'.
     Skipped under root (uid 0 bypasses chmod gating).
  3. TestOpenSSL_Issue_MalformedStdout_DistinguishedFromCSRReject
     — script exits 0 + writes garbage (no PEM markers) to the
     cert output file; error mentions PEM/certificate/parse so
     operators distinguish output-parsing failure from a script-
     side fault.
  4. TestOpenSSL_Issue_NonZeroExit_DistinguishesCAReject_From_
     ScriptError — script writes 'policy violation: …' to stderr
     and exits 2 (CA-side rejection convention); the script's
     stderr surfaces in the error message; errors.Unwrap returns
     non-nil (proving the underlying *exec.ExitError chain
     survives).
  5. TestOpenSSL_Issue_TimeoutEnforced_ContextCancellationPropagates
     — script does 'exec sleep 30' (not 'sleep 30 ' as a child;
     exec replaces bash so SIGKILL goes directly to the sleeper,
     avoiding the orphan-pipes corner case where a killed bash
     leaves sleep holding stdout/stderr open and CombinedOutput
     blocks); ctx with 100ms deadline; call returns within ~5s
     wall-clock; either errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded)
     or the error message names 'killed' / 'signal'.
  6. TestOpenSSL_Issue_SignalKilled_PartialOutputDiscarded —
     script writes a half-PEM ('-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMII…')
     then 'kill -KILL $$'; assertion: result is nil OR
     CertPEM is empty (no half-cert leaks to caller); error
     names 'signal' / 'killed' OR 'PEM' / 'parse' (both are
     operator-actionable).

Each test pins the operator-actionable error message contract:
the message names the failure mode (so journalctl + grep find
it) and proves no half-state was created (no partial cert
returned). errors.Is / errors.Unwrap checks confirm the wrapping
chain survives.

The OpenSSL adapter has no commandRunner abstraction (production
code uses exec.CommandContext directly); these tests use real
operator-supplied scripts written to t.TempDir (matches the
adapter's actual production code path; no os/exec mocking). The
'exec sleep 30' technique in Test 5 is the load-bearing fix for
the bash-orphans-sleep-and-pipes-stay-open corner case that
otherwise makes the test take 30s instead of 100ms.

Coverage delta:
  - Before this commit: openssl_test.go + openssl_stubs_test.go
    covered 8 happy-path funcs.
  - After: 79.8% statement coverage of openssl.go (up from
    operator-pre-existing baseline; the 6 new tests exercise
    every error path through callSignScript + parseCertificate).

Tests pass clean under '-race -count=10' (Test 5's deadline
tolerance is the only timing-sensitive case; the 5s wall-clock
budget vs the 100ms ctx deadline gives ample slack on slow CI
without masking deadline-not-enforced bugs).

Test-only commit; no production code changes. Hardening fixes
(per-call concurrency semaphore, threat-model docs) are separate
Top-10 entries.

Verified locally:
  - gofmt clean across the repo.
  - go vet ./... clean across the repo.
  - go test -race -count=10 -short
    ./internal/connector/issuer/openssl/... green.
