src: set CONF_MFLAGS_DEFAULT_SECTION for OpenSSL 3
This commit adds a call to OPENSSL_init_crypto to initialize OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG to avoid the default behavior where errors raised during the parsing of the OpenSSL configuration file are not propagated and cannot be detected. The motivation for this is that if FIPS is configured the OpenSSL configuration file will have an .include pointing to the fipsmodule.cnf file generated by the openssl fipsinstall command. If the path to this file is incorrect no error will be reported. For Node.js this will mean that EntropySource will be called by V8 as part of its initalization process, and EntropySource will in turn call CheckEntropy. CheckEntropy will call RAND_status which will now always return 0 leading to an endless loop and the node process will appear to hang/freeze. I'll continue investigating the cause of this and see if this is expected behavior or not, but in the mean time it would be good to be able to workaround this issue with this commit.
