libcrypto does not have a single cleanup function, it has several and as far
as I know we call every cleanup function OpenSSL offers and that we should
call:

  ERR_free_strings
  EVP_cleanup
  ENGINE_cleanup
  CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data

The two latter ones don't exist in all versions though.

lib/ssluse.c:Curl_ossl_cleanup() shows you all this.
