STORE: Add documentation on the expectations for returned names

Browse Source 
Returned OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME typed infos are supposed to be a
canonical URI for the corresponding object.  For example, when using
the 'file' scheme loader, the file name is returned, possibly prefixed
with 'file://'

given and that path has the file C<cookie.pem>, the name
C</foo/bar/cookie.pem> will be returned.
The returned URI is considered canonical and must be unique and permanent
for the storage where the object (or collection of objects) resides.
Each loader is responsible for ensuring that it only returns canonical
URIs.
However, it's possible that certain schemes allow an object (or collection
thereof) to be reached with alternative URIs; just because one URI is
canonical doesn't mean that other variants can't be used.
At the discretion of the loader that was used to get these names, an
extra description may be attached as well.
