Log OpenSSL errors on failure to set certificate

Currently we log a bogus error message saying private key password
verification failed when SSL_CTX_use_cert_and_key() fails in
pkcs11_openssl.c. Instead print OpenSSL error queue and exit promptly.

Also log OpenSSL errors when SSL_CTX_use_certiifcate() fails in
cryptoapi.c and elsewhere. Such logging could be useful especially when
the ceritficate is rejected by OpenSSL due to stricter security
restrictions in recent versions of the library.
