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.

  Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]

+     will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.

   *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
