\brief This function is similar to malloc(), but calls the memory
allocation function which wolfSSL has been configured to use. By default,
wolfSSL uses malloc(). This can be changed using the wolfSSL memory
abstraction layer - see wolfSSL_SetAllocators(). Note wolfSSL_Malloc is not
called directly by wolfSSL, but instead called by macro XMALLOC.
For the default build only the size argument exists. If using
WOLFSSL_STATIC_MEMORY build then heap and type arguments are included.

\brief This function is available when static memory feature is used

“buckets”. This allows for a way to compute buffer size so that no
extra unused memory is left at the end after it has been partitioned.
For the none _ex version of this function the default bucket and
distribution list set during compile time is used.
The returned value, if positive, is the computed buffer size to use.
\return Success On successfully completing buffer size calculations a
positive value is returned. This returned value is for optimum buffer size.
\return Failure All negative values are considered to be error cases.

\ingroup Memory
\brief This function is used to set aside static memory for a CTX.
Memory set aside is then used for the CTXs lifetime and for any SSL objects created
from the CTX. By passing in a NULL ctx pointer and a wolfSSL_method_func function the creation
of the CTX itself will also use static memory. wolfSSL_method_func has the function signature
of WOLFSSL_METHOD* (*wolfSSL_method_func)(void* heap);.
Passing in 0 for max makes it behave as if not set and no max concurrent use restrictions
is in place.
The flag value passed in determines how the memory is used and behavior while operating.
Available flags are the following.
0 - default general memory
WOLFMEM_IO_POOL - used for input/output buffer when sending receiving messages.
Overrides general memory, so all memory in buffer passed in is used for IO.
WOLFMEM_IO_FIXED - same as WOLFMEM_IO_POOL but each SSL now keeps two
buffers to themselves for their lifetime.
WOLFMEM_TRACK_STATS - each SSL keeps track of memory stats while running.
\return If successful, SSL_SUCCESS will be returned.
\return All unsuccessful return values will be less than 0 or equal to SSL_FAILURE.
\param ctx address of pointer to a WOLFSSL_CTX structure.
\param method function to create protocol. (should be NULL if ctx is not also NULL)
\param buf memory to use for all operations.
\param sz size of memory buffer being passed in.
\param flag type of memory.
\param max max concurrent operations.
