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.

This is an interface between Core dispatch table fetching and
EVP_{method}_fetch(). All that's needed from the diverse method
fetchers are the functions to create a method structure from a
dispatch table, a function that ups the method reference counter and a
function to free the method (in case of failure).
This routine is internal to the EVP API andis therefore only made
accessible within crypto/evp, by including evp_locl.h

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).

The NAME section format is comma separated names to the left of the
left of the dash, free form on the right. If we don't follow that
form, programs like apropos(1) and whatis(1) can't do their job
properly.

- Add a bit more text about that is expected of the user or
OSSL_METHOD_STOREs.
- Clarify what a method and what a numeric identity are.
- Change all mentions of 'implementation' and 'result' to 'method'.
To clarify further: OpenSSL has used the term 'method' for structures
that mainly contains function pointers. Those are the methods that
are expected to be stored away in OSSL_METHOD_STOREs. In the end,
however, it's the caller's responsibility to define exactly what they
want to store, as long as its 'methods' are associated with a numeric
identity and properties.

Properties are a sequence of comma separated name=value pairs. A name
without a corresponding value is assumed to be a Boolean and have the
true value 'yes'. Values are either strings or numbers. Strings can be
quoted either _"_ or _'_ or unquoted (with restrictions). There are no
escape characters inside strings. Number are either decimal digits or
'0x' followed by hexidecimal digits. Numbers are represented internally
as signed sixty four bit values.
Queries on properties are a sequence comma separated conditional tests.
These take the form of name=value (equality test), name!=value (inequality
test) or name (Boolean test for truth). Queries can be parsed, compared
against a definition or merged pairwise.

Iterators over the sparse array structures have gained an initial argument
which indicates the index into the array of the element. This can be used,
e.g., to delete or modify the associated value.

The structure's raw API is wrapped by inline functions which provide type
