Bug #47991 SSL streams fail if error stack contains items

Description:
------------
In ext/openssl/openssl.c : php_openssl_parse_config might push errors
into OpenSSL error stack in case the keys requested by the application are not found from the openssl.cnf file. This is fine normally but it seems that if error stack contains such an error all future calls to SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file fail.

This is a nasty side-effect since SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file is used when opening streams that authenticate with client cert.

I haven't tested if the SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file fails with other errors than missing config keys. Probably does.

The simple fix which fixes the issue seems to be the following:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$url = 'https://someurl.example.com/';
$crt = '/tmp/test.pem';

$context = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'allow_self_signed', true);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $crt);

/* This call causes the failure */
openssl_pkey_new();

var_dump(file_get_contents($url, 0, $context));

/* The last error shows missing conf key warning */
echo openssl_error_string();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No errors, everything works.

Actual result:
--------------
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file returns failure and the call fails.
