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).

Replace "=for openssl foreign manuals" with simpler syntax, it looks
like the "=for openssl ifdef" construct.
Fix some broken L<> links; add some missing foreign references and fixed
some typo's.
The WARNINGS in dhparam referred to non-existant commands so reword it.
Fixes#10109

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.

OpenSSL uses some POD directives masquerading as 'comment'
('=for comment' etc). This is abusive and confusing. Instead, we use
our own keyword.
=for openssl whatever
=begin openssl
whatever
=end openssl
(we have never used the multiline form, but might start one day)

It's all in the details, from man-pages(7):
Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions
...
Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.
...
Formatting conventions (general)
...
Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold.
Exception: don't boldface NULL.

Change find-doc-nits to complain if a section header is repeated,
within a parent header (i.e., duplicate =head2 within a =head1).
In almost all cases, we just remove the duplicate header, as
it was a "continuation" of the =head1 that was already in affect.
In some cases, just remove "=head1 NOTES", possibly moving text
around, because the "NOTES" were really important parts of the
DESCRIPTION section.
No =headX sections should end with a period.
All =head1 labels should be in all uppercase.
No sub-head (=head2, etc) should be in all uppercase.
Update find-doc-nits to reject the above.
