Maintain strict type discipline between the core and providers

A provider could be linked against a different version of libcrypto than
the version of libcrypto that loaded the provider. Different versions of
libcrypto could define opaque types differently. It must never occur that
a type created in one libcrypto is used directly by the other libcrypto.
This will cause crashes.

We can "cheat" for "built-in" providers that are part of libcrypto itself,
because we know that the two libcrypto versions are the same - but not for
other providers.

To ensure this does not occur we use different types names for the handful
of opaque types that are passed between the core and providers.
