Re: [PATCH] Manually cleanup OpenSSL from dovecot_openssl_common_global_unref()

OpenSSL 1.1 features a cleanup function that is automatically run on shutdown using atexit(3). This function frees all OpenSSL-allocated resources.

In dovecot, OpenSSL is loaded indirectly using dlopen(3) against the relevant dovecot crypto module and is finally unloaded using dlclose(3). Until OpenSSL 1.0.1c this worked fine, however OpenSSL 1.0.1c makes sure[1] that the library stays loaded after the initial dlclose() so that the atexit(3) handlers can run on shutdown. This, together with the fact that dovecot uses custom allocation functions for OpenSSL and has already partially free()'d some of OpenSSL's resources in module_free(), leads to a segfault at process shutdown[2].

We fix this by explicitly calling OPENSSL_cleanup() during module unload. This is safe to do, as long as we will never want to subsequently re-initialize OpenSSL.
