Add an argument to PROVIDER_try_load() that permits a provider to be

additional provider needs to be loaded without perturbing any other setup.
E.g. adding mock providers as part of unit testing.

Many of the new types introduced by OpenSSL 3.0 have an OSSL_ prefix,
e.g., OSSL_CALLBACK, OSSL_PARAM, OSSL_ALGORITHM, OSSL_SERIALIZER.

The OPENSSL_CTX type stands out a little by using a different prefix.
For consistency reasons, this type is renamed to OSSL_LIB_CTX.

provider: disable fall-backs if OSSL_PROVIDER_load() fails.

If an attempt is made to load a provider and it fails, the fall-back mechanism
should be disabled to prevent the user getting some weird happening. E.g. a
failure to load the FIPS provider should not allow the default to load as a
fall-back.

The OSSL_PROVIDER_try_load() call has been added, to allow a provider to be
loaded without disabling the fall-back mechanism if it fails.

Add 'on demand self test' and status test to providers

The default and legacy providers currently return 1 for status and self test checks.
Added test to show the 3 different stages the self test can be run (for installation, loading and on demand).

For the fips provider:
- If the on demand self test fails, then any subsequent fetches should also fail. To implement this the
cached algorithms are flushed on failure.
- getting the self test callback in the fips provider is a bit complicated since the callback hangs off the core
libctx (as it is set by the application) not the actual fips library context. Also the callback can be set at
any time not just during the OSSL_provider_init() so it is calculated each time before doing any self test.

Add functions to see if a provider is available for use.

Public function OSSL_PROVIDER_available() takes a library context and
a provider name, and returns 1 if it's available for use, i.e. if it's
possible to fetch implementations from it, otherwise 0.

Internal function ossl_provider_activated() returns 1 if the given
OSSL_PROVIDER is activated, otherwise 0.

To make this possible, the activation of fallbacks got refactored out
to a separate function, which ended up simplifying the code.
