backport mozbug 1444532 - fix a leak in SHA256 in nsHttpConnectionInfo.cpp r=mayhemer

The original code (from bug 1200802) declared an XPCOM object as a static bare pointer,
which for future reference is probably never the right thing to do. It might have worked if
it was cleared before shutdown but it never was.
