Script-based signatures don't check the script exit status

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When an external signature script is executed, if the script fails, no diagnostics appear --- the signature simply doesn't show up. The script's exit status should be checked and a message shown if the script fails; otherwise, there's no way of knowing that the problem is in the script itself, and not an Evolution misconfiguration.

This is Evolution 2.22.3.1 on Heron.

upstream is asking:

"What exit status values would indicate a failed script?

Anything non-zero is a convention, but not universal."
