[GEODE-9394] Apache Geode does not properly cleanup its SSL context between runs

Description

Because Geode internally uses may statics to maintain state and to pass configuration between components in a non-Object Oriented fashion, I believe stale SSL configuration is being retained between Geode instance runs, leading to Exceptions thrown of the following nature:

In the StackTrace above, SSL was not even configured between the Geode client and server even though Geode thinks it was.
