While public keys and private keys use the same type (EVP_PKEY), just
with different contents, callers still need to distinguish between the
two to be able to know what functions to call with them (for example,
to be able to choose between EVP_PKEY_print_private() and
EVP_PKEY_print_public()).
The OSSL_STORE backend knows what it loaded, so it has the capacity to
inform.
Note that the same as usual still applies, that a private key EVP_PKEY
contains the public parts, but not necessarily the other way around.

This STORE module adds the following functionality:
- A function OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load() and OSSL_STORE_close()
that accesses a URI and helps loading the supported objects (PKEYs,
CERTs and CRLs for the moment) from it.
- An opaque type OSSL_STORE_INFO that holds information on each loaded
object.
- A few functions to retrieve desired data from a OSSL_STORE_INFO
reference.
- Functions to register and unregister loaders for different URI
schemes. This enables dynamic addition of loaders from applications
or from engines.
