We didn't deal very well with names that didn't have pre-defined NIDs,
as the NID zero travelled through the full process and resulted in an
inaccessible method. By consequence, we need to refactor the method
construction callbacks to rely more on algorithm names.
We must, however, still store the legacy NID with the method, for the
sake of other code that depend on it (for example, CMS).

When we attempt to fetch a method with a given NID we will ask the
providers for it if we don't already know about it. During that process
we may be told about other methods with a different NID. We need to
make sure we don't confuse the two.

Fully assume that the method constructors use reference counting.
Otherwise, we may leak memory, or loose track and do a double free.

This queries the provider for its available functionality (unless a
matching method structured is already cached, in which case that's
used instead), and creates method structure with the help of a passed
constructor. The result is cached if the provider allows it (or if
caching is forced).
