*) Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
implementation properties.
Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.

*) Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
Currently added pragma:
