49c6434673 Refactor provider support for reporting errors
The core now supplies its own versions of ERR_new(), ERR_set_debug()
and ERR_vset_error().  This should suffice for a provider to have any
OpenSSL compatible functionlity it desires.

The main difference between the ERR functions and the core
counterparts is that the core counterparts take an OSSL_PROVIDER
parameter instead of the library number.  That way, providers do not
need to know what number they have been assigned, that information
stays in the core.

d4c69c69d1 Documentation: add provider-base(7), describing the base functions
The base functions are the first tables of function pointers that
libcrypto and the provider pass to each other, thereby providing a
baseline with which they can communicate further with each other.

This also contains an example for a ficticious provider, providing an
implement of a fictitious algorithm for a fictitious operation.
