Remove/combine redundant call of EVP_CipherInit before EVP_CipherInit_Ex

EVP_CipherInit basically is the same EVP_CipherInit_ex except that it
in some instances it resets/inits the ctx parameter first. We already
call EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset to reset/init the ctx before. Also ensure that
EVP_CipherInit_Ex gets the cipher to actually be able to initialise the
context.

OpenSSL 1.0.2:

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_0_2-stable/crypto/evp/evp_enc.c#L94

EVP_CipherInit calls first EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init and then EVP_CipherInit_ex

Our openssl_compat.h has

for these older OpenSSL versions

OpenSSL 3.0:

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/openssl-3.2/crypto/evp/evp_enc.c#L450

basically the same as 1.0.2. Just that method names have been changed.
