directly include headers for interfaces it uses, changes to recursive

dsa_mod_exp() and bn_mod_exp() handlers from dsa_do_verify() and
dsa_sign_setup(). When another DSA_METHOD implementation does not define
these lower-level handlers, it becomes impossible to do a fallback to
software on errors using a simple DSA_OpenSSL()->fn(key).
This change allows the default DSA_METHOD to function in such circumstances
by only using dsa_mod_exp() and bn_mod_exp() handlers if they exist,
otherwise using BIGNUM implementations directly (which is what those
handlers did before this change). There should be no noticable difference
for the software case, or indeed any custom case that didn't already
segfault, except perhaps that there is now one less level of indirection in
all cases.

a 'forward declaration' of the ENGINE type.

key-generation and prime-checking functions. Rather than explicitly passing
callback functions and caller-defined context data for the callbacks, a new
structure BN_GENCB is defined that encapsulates this; a pointer to the
structure is passed to all such functions instead.
This wrapper structure allows the encapsulation of "old" and "new" style
callbacks - "new" callbacks return a boolean result on the understanding
that returning FALSE should terminate keygen/primality processing. The
BN_GENCB abstraction will allow future callback modifications without
needing to break binary compatibility nor change the API function
prototypes. The new API functions have been given names ending in "_ex" and
the old functions are implemented as wrappers to the new ones. The
OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol has been introduced so that, if defined,
declaration of the older functions will be skipped. NB: Some
openssl-internal code will stick with the older callbacks for now, so
appropriate "#undef" logic will be put in place - this is in case the user
is *building* openssl (rather than *including* its headers) with this
symbol defined.
There is another change in the new _ex functions; the key-generation
functions do not return key structures but operate on structures passed by
the caller, the return value is a boolean. This will allow for a smoother
transition to having key-generation as "virtual function" in the various
***_METHOD tables.

ENGINE surgery. DH, DSA, RAND, and RSA now use *both* "method" and ENGINE
pointers to manage their hooking with ENGINE. Previously their use of
"method" pointers was replaced by use of ENGINE references. See
crypto/engine/README for details.
Also, remove the ENGINE iterations from evp_test - even when the
cipher/digest code is committed in, this functionality would require a
different set of API calls.
See the commit log message for that for more information.
NB: X509_STORE_CTX's use of "ex_data" support was actually misimplemented
(initialisation by "memset" won't/can't/doesn't work). This fixes that but
requires that X509_STORE_CTX_init() be able to handle errors - so its
prototype has been changed to return 'int' rather than 'void'. All uses of
that function throughout the source code have been tracked down and
adjusted.
dependant code has to directly increment the "references" value of each

This change doesn't make "ex_data" right (see the comment at the head of

frustrating.

EVP_add_digest_()/EVP_cleanup() calls were removed and some changes
made to avoid compiler warnings.
