DOCS: Start restructuring our provider and implementation documentation
This adds doc/man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-default.pod and OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy.pod, and fills in currently implemented operations and algorithms in them, as well as in doc/man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS.pod, with links to documentation to come.

+It isn't mandatory to query for this property, except to make sure to get

+The OpenSSL legacy provider supplies OpenSSL implementations of algorithms

+
