Subject: Introduce the Error::UnexpectedError variant
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The UnexpectedError variant is used when a libnitrokey function returns
a value that violates the function’s contract, for example if a function
returns a null pointer although it guarantees to never return null.
Previously, we returned a CommandError::Unspecified in these cases.
