Pauli 7d615e2178 rand_drbg: remove RAND_DRBG.
The RAND_DRBG API did not fit well into the new provider concept as
implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is that the
RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end' API calls
and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This holds in particular
for the callback mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()) and the RAND_DRBG
type changing mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set()).

Adding a compatibility layer to continue supporting the RAND_DRBG API as
a legacy API for a regular deprecation period turned out to come at the
price of complicating the new provider API unnecessarily. Since the
RAND_DRBG API exists only since version 1.1.1, it was decided by the OMC
to drop it entirely.

Other related changes:

Use RNG instead of DRBG in EVP_RAND documentation.  The documentation was
using DRBG in places where it should have been RNG or CSRNG.

Move the RAND_DRBG(7) documentation to EVP_RAND(7).

* Maximum allocation size for RANDOM_POOL buffers
*
* The max_len value for the buffer provided to the rand_drbg_get_entropy()
* callback is currently 2^31 bytes (2 gigabytes), if a derivation function
* is used. Since this is much too large to be allocated, the rand_pool_new()
* function chooses more modest values as default pool length, bounded
* by RAND_POOL_MIN_LENGTH and RAND_POOL_MAX_LENGTH
*
* The choice of the RAND_POOL_FACTOR is large enough such that the
* RAND_POOL can store a random input which has a lousy entropy rate of
* 8/256 (= 0.03125) bits per byte. This input will be sent through the
* derivation function which 'compresses' the low quality input into a
* high quality output.
*
* The factor 1.5 below is the pessimistic estimate for the extra amount
* of entropy required when no get_nonce() callback is defined.

* Initial allocation minimum.
*
* There is a distinction between the secure and normal allocation minimums.
* Ideally, the secure allocation size should be a power of two. The normal
* allocation size doesn't have any such restriction.
*
* The secure value is based on 128 bits of secure material, which is 16 bytes.
* Typically, the DRBGs will set a minimum larger than this so optimal
* allocation ought to take place (for full quality seed material).
*
* The normal value has been chosen by noticing that the rand_drbg_get_nonce
* function is usually the largest of the built in allocation (twenty four
* bytes and then appending another sixteen bytes). This means the buffer ends
* with 40 bytes. The value of forty eight is comfortably above this which
* allows some slack in the platform specific values used.
