src: add mutex to ManagedEVPPKey class
This commit introduces a mutex field on the ManagedEVPPKey class intended to be used when multiple threads require access to an OpenSSL EVP_PKEY object. The motivation for this came from the work being done to upgrade Node.js to OpenSSL 3.0. OpenSSL objects, like EVP_PKEY, are not thread safe (see refs for details). In versions prior to OpenSSL 3.0 this was not noticeable and did not cause any issues (like incorrect logic or crashes), but with OpenSSL 3.0 this does cause issues if access to an EVP_PKEY instance is required from multiple threads without locking. In OpenSSL 3.0 when the evp_pkey_downgrade function is called, which downgrades an EVP_PKEY instance to a legacy version, it will clear all the fields of EVP_PKEY struct except the lock (#13374). But this also means that keymgmt and keydata will also be cleared, which other parts of the code base depends on, and those calls will either fail to export the key (returning null) or crash due to a segment fault. This same code works with OpenSSL 1.1.1 without locking and I think this is because there is no downgrade being done in OpenSSL 1.1.1. But even so, as far as I can tell there are no guarantees that these object are thread safe in 1.1.1 either and should be protected with a lock.
