The types OSSL_DISPATCH, OSSL_ITEM, OSSL_ALGORITHM, OSSL_PARAM,
OSSL_CALLBACK, and OSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK are described in their own
manual page, so we change every mention of them to links to those pages.

The idea being that doc/man7/provider-mac.pod is for provider authors,
while provider users find the documentation for each implementation in
doc/man7/EVP_MAC-*.pod, the documentation of parameters wasn't quite
aligned. This change re-arranges the parameter documentation to be
more aligned with this idea.

The new naming scheme consistently usese the `OSSL_FUNC_` prefix for all
functions which are dispatched between the core and providers.
This change includes in particular all up- and downcalls, i.e., the
dispatched functions passed from core to provider and vice versa.
- OSSL_core_ -> OSSL_FUNC_core_
- OSSL_provider_ -> OSSL_FUNC_core_
For operations and their function dispatch tables, the following convention
is used:
Type | Name (evp_generic_fetch(3)) |
---------------------|-----------------------------------|
operation | OSSL_OP_FOO |
function id | OSSL_FUNC_FOO_FUNCTION_NAME |
function "name" | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name |
function typedef | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name_fn |
function ptr getter | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name |

Replace L<> link to header-file with a C<> reference.
Change some broken L<provider(3)> links to L<provider(7)>.
For consistency, rename four cipher pages to have a specific mode.
Fix up all references to any "generic" names to point to specific names.

OpenSSL uses some POD directives masquerading as 'comment'
('=for comment' etc). This is abusive and confusing. Instead, we use
our own keyword.
=for openssl whatever
=begin openssl
whatever
=end openssl
(we have never used the multiline form, but might start one day)

The EVP_PKEY MAC implementations had a diversity of controls that were
really the same thing. We did reproduce that for the provider based
MACs, but are changing our minds on this. Instead of that, we now use
one parameter name for passing the name of the underlying ciphers or
digests to a MAC implementation, "cipher" and "digest", and one
parameter name for passing the output size of the MAC, "size".
Then we leave it to the EVP_PKEY->EVP_MAC bridge to translate "md"
to "digest", and "digestsize" to "size".

Recently, we added dispatched functions to get parameter descriptions,
and those for operation context parameters ended up being called
something_gettable_ctx_params and something_settable_ctx_params.
The corresponding dispatched functions to actually perform parameter
transfers were previously called something_ctx_get_params and
something_ctx_set_params, which doesn't quite match, so we rename them
to something_get_ctx_params and something_set_ctx_params.
An argument in favor of this name change is English, where you'd
rather say something like "set the context parameters".
This only change the libcrypto <-> provider interface.

Quite a few adaptations are needed, most prominently the added code
to allow provider based MACs.
As part of this, all the old information functions are gone, except
for EVP_MAC_name(). Some of them will reappear later, for example
EVP_MAC_do_all() in some form.
MACs by EVP_PKEY was particularly difficult to deal with, as they
need to allocate and deallocate EVP_MAC_CTXs "under the hood", and
thereby implicitly fetch the corresponding EVP_MAC. This means that
EVP_MACs can't be constant in a EVP_MAC_CTX, as their reference count
may need to be incremented and decremented as part of the allocation
or deallocation of the EVP_MAC_CTX. It may be that other provider
based EVP operation types may need to be handled in a similar manner.
