src: pass along errors from --security-reverts

Pass along errors from `Revert()` when a security revert
is unknown (which currently applies to all possible values).

Previously, we would unconditionally call `exit()`, which is
not nice for embedding use cases, and could crash because we
were holding a lock for a mutex in `ProcessGlobalArgs()` that
would be destroyed by calling `exit()`.

Also, add a regression test that makes sure that the process
exits with the right exit code and not a crash.
