crypto: Make unloading of crypto safer

Facts:
crypto nif-lib registers callback functions that openssl uses
for memory management and thread synchronization. The callback
functions can only be set once, openssl does not allow changing the
callback functions.

Problem:
If openssl is dynamicly linked to crypto, you might get s scenario
where the crypto lib is unloaded while leaving openssl loaded
with its old pointers to the unloaded crypto code intact.
If crypto is then reloaded (by init:restart() for example), the crypto
nif-lib might get relocated at a different address. crypto calls
openssl which in turn calls the old invalid callback functions...kaboom.

Solution:
Break apart the callback functions into a separate dynamic lib that
crypto loads with dlopen. When crypto is unloaded the callback lib is
left in place to be reused if/when crypto is loaded again.
