Use OPENSSL_free instead of free to avoid instance crash
OpenSSL handles memory management using **OPENSSL_xxx** API[^1]. For allocation, there is `OPENSSL_malloc`. To free it, `OPENSSL_free` should be called. We've been lucky that OPENSSL (and wolfSSL)'s implementation allowed the usage of `free` for memory cleanup. However, other OpenSSL forks, such as AWS-LC[^2], is not this forgiving. It will cause a server crash. Test case `openssl_1` provides good coverage for this issue. If a user is created using: `grant select on test.* to user1@localhost require SUBJECT "...";` user1 will crash the instance during connection under AWS-LC. There have been numerous OpenSSL forks[^3]. Due to FIPS[^4] and other related regulatory requirements, MariaDB will be built using them. This fix will increase MariaDB's adaptability by using more compliant and generally accepted API.
