At the moment when starting connections to mysql database it's creating multiple copies of tls certificates for the same pem file loaded, which is causing memory pressure when loading a big combo certificate (example the combo certificate offered by AWS RDS).
This PR address the issue by creating only one copy of loaded certificate per file and refer to it, which brings down the memory usage for tls connections. The image below shows the after(left) vs before(right) comparison via golang's pprof's web interface.
