Tobias Frauenschläger cb049aebcb Set the global heap hint in the static memory examples
With WOLFSSL_NO_MALLOC there is no allocator behind a NULL-heap XMALLOC,
so an allocation made outside any CTX or SSL object can only be served
from the global heap hint. wolfSSL_Init() makes such an allocation: under
OPENSSL_EXTRA it seeds the compatibility-layer RNG, whose _InitRng() call
allocates with a NULL heap. That returned NULL, wolfSSL_Init() reported
WC_INIT_E, and every wolfSSL_CTX_new_ex() that triggered the lazy init
failed, so neither example could establish a connection even though the
pool it had loaded was large enough.

Have each example nominate its own pool, which is what the hint is for.
The server could not do that before: it created its CTX through
wolfSSL_CTX_load_static_memory(), which loads the pool and creates the CTX
in one call, so wolfSSL_Init() ran before the caller ever saw the hint.
Load the pool with wc_LoadStaticMemory() and create the CTX afterwards, as
the client already does.

Claim the hint only when none is set, and drop it again on the way out.
Both pools are local to the example's own function, and testsuite runs the
wolfCrypt test, both examples and the echo server in one process, so an
example that overwrote the hint would leave it pointing at a pool that
dies the moment the example returns.

scripts/resume.test, scripts/tls13.test and testsuite/testsuite.test go
from failing to passing with --enable-staticmemory -DWOLFSSL_NO_MALLOC.

Restrict the claim to the standalone programs (!NO_MAIN_DRIVER). testsuite
and unit.test compile both examples with NO_MAIN_DRIVER and run server_test
on a spawned thread beside client_test, so an in-harness claim would publish
one thread's automatic-storage pool as the process allocator, let the other
thread allocate from it, and then revoke it when the owning frame unwound.
In those builds the harness's own long-lived pool is the one that belongs in
the hint.

Check ctx after wolfSSL_CTX_new_ex() rather than letting the following IO-pool
load report a CTX allocation failure as "unable to load static memory".
