The self tests for the fips module are triggered on startup and they need to know the
core's libctx in order to function correctly. As the provider can be autoloaded via configuration
it then needs to propagate the callers libctx down to the provider via the config load.
Note that OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG, ..) is still called, but will only load the default
configuration if the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable is set.

Previously we only loaded the config file by default for libssl. Now we do
it for libcrypto too.

This allows 'default' to be configured in the config file, if needed.

Other configuration modules may have use for tracing, and having one
tracing category for each of them is a bit much. Instead, we make one
category for them all.

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
