Fix infinite loops in secure memory allocation.



Issue 1:

sh.bittable_size is a size_t but i is and int, which can result in
freelist == -1 if sh.bittable_size exceeds an int.

This seems to result in an OPENSSL_assert due to invalid allocation
size, so maybe that is "ok."

Worse, if sh.bittable_size is exactly 1<<31, then this becomes an
infinite loop (because 1<<31 is a negative int, so it can be shifted
right forever and sticks at -1).

Issue 2:

CRYPTO_secure_malloc_init() sets secure_mem_initialized=1 even when
sh_init() returns 0.

If sh_init() fails, we end up with secure_mem_initialized=1 but
sh.minsize=0. If you then call secure_malloc(), which then calls,
sh_malloc(), this then enters an infite loop since 0 << anything will
never be larger than size.

Issue 3:

That same sh_malloc loop will loop forever for a size greater
than size_t/2 because i will proceed (assuming sh.minsize=16):
i=16, 32, 64, ..., size_t/8, size_t/4, size_t/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, ....
This sequence will never be larger than "size".
