Replumbing: re-implement error reporting for providers
The idea is that providers should only have to report a reason code.
The library code is considered to be libcrypto internal, and are
allocated dynamically and automatically for providers on creation.
We reserve the upper 8 bits of the reason code for internal OpenSSL
use. This allows our own providers to report errors in form of a
packed number that includes library number, function number and
reason number.
With this, a provider can potentially use any reason number it wants
from 1 to
16777216, although the current error semantics really only
allow 1 to 4095 (because only the lower 12 bits are currently
considered an actual reason code by the ERR subsystem).
A provider can provide a reason string table in form of an array of
ERR_STRING_DATA, with each item containing just the reason code and
the associated string, with the dispatch function numbered
OSSL_FUNC_PROVIDER_GET_REASON_STRINGS matching the type
OSSL_provider_get_reason_strings_fn.
If available, libcrypto will call that function on provider
activation.
