Although OpenSSL happens to leave the errors in there on X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup, in no other OpenSSL API is accessing a cleaned up object meaningful. Do it in the other order.
The underscore-prefixed variables were not intended to be exposed as public API, so don't bother exposing it in the first place.

There's a lot of history with X509_STORE_CTX's somewhat messy transition from a stack-allocated type to a heap-allocated type. (This is why a double X509_STORE_CTX_init used to leak memory.) We can avoid all this mess by just making a new X509_STORE_CTX each time.

This is three commits that probably should be reviewed separately. The first is a minimal fix for a weird behavior in pyOpenSSL: inspecting an X509_STORE_CTX after you have cleaned it up is pretty odd.
The next two rework X509StoreContext to just create a new X509_STORE_CTX for each verification, which avoids a whole lot of historical mess around X509_STORE_CTX's transition from being stack-allocated to heap-allocated in the OpenSSL API.
