SEGFAULT when re-loading gost engine #25

Description

@commonism

The problem can be reproduced using

#include <openssl/engine.h>
#include <openssl/ssl.h>

#define GOST    "gost"

void load(void)
{
    ENGINE *e = ENGINE_by_id(GOST);
    ENGINE_set_default(e, ENGINE_METHOD_ALL);
    ENGINE_free(e);
}

int main(void)
{
    ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
    load();
    load();
    SSL_CTX *ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_client_method());
    return 0;
}

compile with

gcc -O0 -g -std=c99 -Wall -Werror gost.c -o gost -lcrypto -lssl

and it will crash similar to

adding ENGINE_cleanup instead of creating an SSL_CTX, it will crash in the ENGINE_cleanup.

Finishing the first engine after initializing the second,
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/engine/eng_table.c#L130
free's the registered methods gost uses,
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/engine/eng_lib.c#L128
but does not unregister them.

I'll submit a patch to address this.
