Still needs to be documented, somehow/somewhere.
The env var OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES controls how often malloc/realloc
should fail. It's a set of fields separated by semicolons. Each field
is a count and optional percentage (separated by @) which defaults to 100.
If count is zero then it lasts "forever." For example: 100;@25 means the
first 100 allocations pass, then the rest have a 25% chance of failing
until the program exits or crashes.
If env var OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD parses as a positive integer, a record
of all malloc "shouldfail" tests is written to that file descriptor.
If a malloc will fail, and OPENSSL_NO_CRYPTO_MDEBUG_BACKTRACE is not set
(platform specific), then a backtrace will be written to the descriptor
when a malloc fails. This can be useful because a malloc may fail but
not be checked, and problems will only occur later.

(Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/1252)
Travis identified a problem with freeing the ex_data locks which wasn't
quite right in ff2344052. Trying to fix it identified a further problem:
the ex_data locks are cleaned up by OPENSSL_cleanup(), which is called
explicitly by CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), but then later the BIO passed to
CRYPTO_mem_leaks() is freed. An attempt is then made to use the ex_data
lock already freed.

After the final use of the thread_local_inits_st we should ensure it is
set to NULL, just in case OPENSSL_INIT_thread_stop gets called again and
it tries to use garbage.

This commit provides the basis and core code for an auto initialisation
and deinitialisation framework for libcrypto and libssl. The intention is
to remove the need (in many circumstances) to call explicit initialise and
deinitialise functions. Explicit initialisation will still be an option,
and if non-default initialisation is needed then it will be required.
Similarly for de-initialisation (although this will be a lot easier since
it will bring all de-initialisation into a single function).
