Don't hold a lock when calling a callback in ossl_namemap_doall_names

We don't want to hold a read lock when calling a user supplied callback.
That callback could do anything so the risk of a deadlock is high.
Instead we collect all the names first inside the read lock, and then
subsequently call the user callback outside the read lock.

Enable locking on the primary DRBG when we create it

The primary DRBG may be shared across multiple threads and therefore
we must use locking to access it. Previously we were enabling that locking
lazily when we attempted to obtain one of the child DRBGs. Part of the
process of enabling the lock, is to create the lock. But if we create the
lock lazily then it is too late - we may race with other threads where each
thread is independently attempting to enable the locking. This results
in multiple locks being created - only one of which "sticks" and the rest
are leaked.

Instead we enable locking on the primary when we first create it. This is
already locked and therefore we cannot race.

The OPENSSL_CTX type stands out a little by using a different prefix.

drbg: revert renamings of the generate and reseed counter

The original names were more intuitive: the generate_counter counts the
number of generate requests, and the reseed_counter counts the number
of reseedings (of the principal DRBG).

reseed_gen_counter -> generate_counter
reseed_prop_counter -> reseed_counter

This is the anologue to commit 8380f453ec81 on the 1.1.1 stable branch.
The only difference is that the second renaming has already been reverted
on the master branch.

rand_drbg: remove RAND_DRBG.

The RAND_DRBG API did not fit well into the new provider concept as
implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is that the
RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end' API calls
and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This holds in particular
for the callback mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()) and the RAND_DRBG
type changing mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set()).

Adding a compatibility layer to continue supporting the RAND_DRBG API as
a legacy API for a regular deprecation period turned out to come at the
price of complicating the new provider API unnecessarily. Since the
RAND_DRBG API exists only since version 1.1.1, it was decided by the OMC
to drop it entirely.

Other related changes:

Use RNG instead of DRBG in EVP_RAND documentation. The documentation was
using DRBG in places where it should have been RNG or CSRNG.

Move the RAND_DRBG(7) documentation to EVP_RAND(7).

Make the naming scheme for dispatched functions more consistent

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 |
