Fix an init-deadlock in OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CRYPTO_…

…STRINGS)

A recursive OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS) call
may happen if an out-of-memory error happens at the first callstack,
and the dead-lock happens at the second callstack, because ossl_err_get_state_int
calls OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS) although that
call is currently already executing.

At least on posix system this causes the process to freeze at this
point, and must be avoided whatever it takes.

The fix is using err_shelve_state around the critical region, which
makes ossl_err_get_state_int return early and not call the recursive
OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS).

This can be reproduced with my error injection patch.

The test vector has been validated on the master branch:
