EVP: Downgrade keys rather than upgrade
Upgrading EVP_PKEYs from containing legacy keys to containing provider side keys proved to be risky, with a number of unpleasant corner cases, and with functions like EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA() failing unexpectedly. We therefore change course, and instead of upgrading legacy internal keys to provider side internal keys, we downgrade provider side internal keys to legacy ones. To be able to do this, we add |import_from| and make it a callback function designed for evp_keymgmt_export(). This means that evp_pkey_upgrade_to_provider() is replaced with evp_pkey_downgrade(). EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() is the most deeply affected function of this change. Fixes #11366 Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/11375)

### Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0 [xx XXX xxxx] ###
+ * EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DSA(), EVP_PKEY_get0_DH(), and
+ EVP_PKEY_get0_EC_KEY() can now handle EVP_PKEYs with provider side
+ internal keys, if they correspond to one of those built in types.

+ *Richard Levitte*

* Added EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(), to initialise an EVP_PKEY to
contain a provider side internal key.
