The adaptation is to handle the case when key types and operations
that use these keys have different names. For example, EC keys can be
used for ECDSA and ECDH.

With provided algorithms, the library context is ever present, so of
course it should be specified alongside the algorithm name and
property query string.

This works as much as possible EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(), except it takes
data that's relevant for providers, algorithm name and property query
string instead of NID and engine.
Additionally, if EVP_PKEY_CTX_new() or EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() was
called, the algorithm name in the EVP_PKEY context will be set to the
short name of the given NID (explicit or the one of the given
EVP_PKEY), thereby giving an easier transition from legacy methods to
provided methods.
The intent is that operations will use this information to fetch
provider methods implicitly as needed.

While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they
serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for
the user to find certain information if it is always presented in
the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying
formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags,
etc. were added in which OpenSSL version.
It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by
avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the
corresponding version number in which they were introduced
(wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors
were fixed on the way.
