Description of changes:
We noticed some odd benchmark results from the recent change: #5305 . Notably the benchmark caused the performance of rustls and openssl handshakes to significantly degrade on RSA certs.
This change was ultimately the result of switching to a fresh config for each handshake. This is because the libcrypto EVP_PKEY rsa key will cache/precompute certain parts of the sign operation. This causes the first sign to be slower, later signs to be faster. In TLS, this causes the first handshake to be slower, and subsequent handshakes to be faster.
This PR changes the benchmarking setup to reuse the config across the measured handshakes, as that is a more "customer similar" environment.
Testing:
I remove the pkey_match implementation and observed the same handshake regression in s2n-tls.
