Okay fixed... I have no idea about WASM builds but AFAIU this currently does not test if the panic works on WASM. |

Panicking from C is not UB in newer rust versions and will reliably trigger an abort (without unwinding). In older rust versions, it is technically UB but empirically it seems to "just work" (and what should it realistically do except crashing, which is what we intent). Since there's potentially no unwinding, we can't test this behavior using [should_panic]. This PR will instead check the libtest output explicitly in our CI tests. Fixes rust-bitcoin#228.

Fixes #228. This is an alternative to #288.
