The openssl code base has only a few occurrences of 'unsigned const char'
(15 occurrences), compared to the more common 'const unsigned char' (4420
occurrences).
While the former is not illegal C, mixing the 'const' keyword (a 'type
qualifier') in between 'unsigned' and 'char' (both 'type specifiers') is a
bit odd.
The background for writing this patch is not to be pedantic, but because
the 'opmock' program (used to mock headers for unit tests) does not accept
the 'unsigned const char' construct. While this definitely is a bug in
opmock or one of its dependencies, openssl is the only piece of software we
are using in combination with opmock that has this construct.

This introduces a separate activation counter, and the function
ossl_provider_deactivate() for provider deactivation.
Something to be noted is that if the reference count goes down to
zero, we don't care if the activation count is non-zero (i.e. someone
forgot to call ossl_provider_deactivate()). Since there are no more
references to the provider, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that deactivation doesn't remove the provider
as long as there are references to it, for example because there are
live methods associated with that provider, but still makes the
provider unavailable to create new methods from.

This type was previously described in a note, which is hard to find
unless you already know where to look.
This change makes the description more prominent, and allows indexing
by adding it in the NAMES section.
The EVP_PKEY description is altered to conceptually allow an EVP_PKEY
to contain a private key without a corresponding public key. This is
related to an OTC vote:
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-project/2020-December/002474.html
The description of EVP_PKEY for MAC purposes is amended to fit.

We're also starting on a glossary, doc/man7/openssl-glossary.pod,
where terms we use should be explained. There's no need to explain
terms as essays, but at least a few quick lines, and possibly a
reference to some external documentation.

This includes a general correction in the code (now using the X509V3_CTX_REPLACE flag)
and adding a prominent clarification in the documentation:
If multiple entries are processed for the same extension name,
later entries override earlier ones with the same name.
This is due to an RFC 5280 requirement - the intro of its section 4.2 says:
A certificate MUST NOT include more than one instance of a particular extension.

This allows the operating system sources that OpenSSL supports to be
used directly as RNGs. It also allows DRBG seeding to be explicitly
