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.
