Clarify what RUN_ONCE returns
RUN_ONCE really just returns 0 on failure or whatever the init function returned. By convention, however, the init function must return 0 on failure and 1 on success. This needed to be clarified. Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/2225) (cherry picked from commit 37b8f1e21c56996644afa38816f575b05eb483ae)
