Encountered a sample for which msoffcrypto correctly detects encryption but crypto.is_encrypted does not (see first commit). Instead of fixing oletools, duplicating stuff that works in msoffcrypto, use the msoffcrypto code to check for encryption. Keep the old implementation as backup (in case msoffcrypto fails or is not available).

Also added a try-catch around is_encrypted testing solving issue #427 . Add test code so this will not happen again.
And update some testcode to get rid of oleid-warnings.

This is an interesting one since "our" old implementation of is_encrypted
claims that the embedded file is still encrypted (which it is not), but
the msoffcrypto-is_encrypted gets it right.
There were cases where our own test of byte 0x15 of SummaryInformation
stream was incorrect. So leave test to the professionals ;-)
Running main() within same interpreter capturing SystemExit and
sys.stdout/err always causes trouble (at least in unittest).
Fork another python process and capture from there, that is easier
and cleaner in my view.
Might be password like error message states, but could also be a problem
with crypto libraries (e.g. dll/so-file for cryptography not found)

This is a re-creation of PR #436

Added one more small test. It is unrelated to this PR but too insignificant to warrant its own pull request, so I just added it.

Once we are done with this: I have another branch waiting to become a PR which requires this (link)
