The existing wording didn't capture the reality of the default setup, this new
nomenclature attempts to improve the situation.

Move the three different DRBGs to the provider.
As part of the move, the DRBG specific data was pulled out of a common
structure and into their own structures. Only these smaller structures are
securely allocated. This saves quite a bit of secure memory:
+-------------------------------+
| DRBG | Bytes | Secure |
+--------------+-------+--------+
| HASH | 376 | 512 |
| HMAC | 168 | 256 |
| CTR | 176 | 256 |
| Common (new) | 320 | 0 |
| Common (old) | 592 | 1024 |
+--------------+-------+--------+
Bytes is the structure size on the X86/64.
Secure is the number of bytes of secure memory used (power of two allocator).

Various functions have been added that take an OPENSSL_CTX parameter as
a result of moving the RAND code into the FIPS module. We document all of
those functions.
