Subject: [PATCH] certs: buffer stderr from openssl unless error

Running `openssl req` prints a progress meter consisting of `.`, `*`,
and `+` characters to stderr which we redirect to stdout. During a build
with `make -j`, the output from this command becomes interspersed
throughout the rest of the quiet_cmd_* output, messing up the
indentation.

Suppress the output from this command unless the return code is
non-zero. If `openssl req` prints additional information to stderr
without setting a non-zero return code, it will be missed.
