Add KEM (Key encapsulation mechanism) support to providers

SP800-56Br2 requires support for the RSA primitives for RSASVE generate and recover.
As these are simple KEM operations another operation type has been added that can support future extensions.

Added public functions EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(), EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(), EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate()
Added EVP_KEM_* functions.
Added OSSL_FUNC_kem_* dispatch functions

Added EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op() so that different types of KEM can be added in the future. This value must currently be set to
"RSASVE" after EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() & EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() as there is no default value.
This allows the existing RSA key types, keymanagers, and encoders to be used with the encapsulation operations.

The design of the public API's resulted from contributions from @romen & @levitte.

Move the libcrypto serialisation functionality into a place where it can
be provided at some point. The serialisation still remains native in the
default provider.

Add additional code to the list command to display what kind of serialisation
each entry is capable of.

Having the FIPS provider auto load the base provider is a future
(but necessary) enhancement.

Introduce the provider property

Replace the properties default, fips and legacy with a single property
called "provider". So, for example, instead of writing "default=yes" to
get algorithms from the default provider you would instead write
"provider=default". We also have a new "fips" property to indicate that
an algorithm is compatible with FIPS mode. This applies to all the
algorithms in the FIPS provider, as well as any non-cryptographic
algorithms (currently only serializers).

SERIALIZER: New API for serialization of objects through providers

SERIALIZER: New API for serialization of objects through providers

Serialization is needed to be able to take a provider object (such as
the provider side key data) and output it in PEM form, DER form, text
form (for display), and possibly other future forms (XML? JSON? JWK?)

The idea is that a serializer should be able to handle objects it has
intimate knowledge of, as well as object data in OSSL_PARAM form. The
latter will allow libcrypto to serialize some object with a different
provider than the one holding the data, if exporting of that data is
allowed and there is a serializer that can handle it.

We will provide serializers for the types of objects we know about,
which should be useful together with any other provider that provides
implementations of the same type of object.

Serializers are selected by method name and a couple of additional
properties:

- format used to tell what format the output should be in.
Possibilities could include "format=text",
"format=pem", "format=der", "format=pem-pkcs1"
(traditional), "format=der-pkcs1" (traditional)
- type used to tell exactly what type of data should be
output, for example "type=public" (the public part of
a key), "type=private" (the private part of a key),
"type=domainparams" (domain parameters).

This also adds a passphrase callback function type,
OSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK, which is a bit like OSSL_CALLBACK, but it
takes a few extra arguments to place the result in.
