open_path_or_exit() is used for '/dev/kvm', '/dev/sev', and
'/sys/module/%s/parameters/%s' and skipping test when the entry is missing
is completely reasonable. Other errors, however, may indicate a real issue
which is easy to miss. E.g. when 'hyperv_features' test was entering an
infinite loop the output was:

./hyperv_features
Testing access to Hyper-V specific MSRs
1..0 # SKIP - /dev/kvm not available (errno: 24)

and this can easily get overlooked.

Keep ENOENT case 'special' for skipping tests and fail when open() results
in any other errno.

Changes since v1: Use strerror() for 'skip' and rely on the already
existing one in test_assert() for 'fail'. [Sean]
