This PR addresses a Coverity report about an increased number of issues caused by
GOST_cipher_ctx_iv_lengthreturning -1 on error (see #523 (comment)). This behavior was introduced in 4e6e331.While the implementation matches
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length, which it replaces, returning 0 on error is safer. An assertion is added in debug builds to catch such cases.
