Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/init.sh to
properly signal an hard error was the `framework_failure_'
subroutine. But the error message issued by that subroutine,
as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the
testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to
other reasons. The best way to fix this inconsistency is to
introduce a new subroutine with a more general error message.
* tests/init.sh (fatal_): New subroutine.
