Instead of referencing the return size from the OSSL_PARAM structure, make the
size a field within the structure.

Some OSSL_PROVIDER getters took a non-const OSSL_PROVIDER parameter.
There's no reason to do so.

OSSL_provider_init() gets another output parameter, holding a pointer
to a provider side context. It's entirely up to the provider to
define the context and what it's being used for. This pointer is
passed back to other provider functions, typically the provider global
get_params and set_params functions, and also the diverse algorithm
context creators, and of course, the teardown function.
With this, a provider can be instantiated more than once, or be
re-loaded as the case may be, while maintaining instance state.

This configuration module supports a configuration structure pretty
much like the engine configuration module, i.e. something like this:
openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
providers = provider_section
[provider_section]
# Configure the provider named "foo"
foo = foo_section
# Configure the provider named "bar"
bar = bar_section
[foo_section]
# Override name given in the provider section
identity = myfoo
# The exact path of the module. This is platform specific
module_path = /opt/openssl/modules/foo.so
# Whether it should be automatically activated. Value is unimportant
activate = whatever
# Anything else goes as well, and becomes parameters that the
# provider can get
what = 1
# sub-sections will be followed as well
ever = ever_section
[ever_section]
cookie = monster
All the configurations in a provider section and its sub-sections
become parameters for the provider to get, i.e. the "foo" provider
will be able to get values for the following keys (with associated
values shown):
identity => myfoo
module_path => /opt/openssl/modules/foo.so
activate => whatever
what => 1
ever.cookie => monster

To ensure that old applications aren't left without any provider, and
at the same time not forcing any default provider on applications that
know how to deal with them, we device the concept of fallback
providers, which are automatically activated if no other provider is
already activated.

The OSSL_PROVIDER is the core object involved in loading a provider
module, initialize a provider and do the initial communication of
provider wide and core wide dispatch tables.
