PEM: Make PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey_traditional() handle provider-native keys
PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey_traditional() didn't handle provider-native
keys very well. Originally, it would simply use the corresponding
encoder, which is likely to output modern PEM (not "traditional").
PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey_traditional() is now changed to try and get a
legacy copy of the input EVP_PKEY, and use that copy for traditional
output, if it has such support.
Internally, evp_pkey_copy_downgraded() is added, to be used when
evp_pkey_downgrade() is too intrusive for what it's needed for.
