Add EVP_MAC API
We currently implement EVP MAC methods as EVP_PKEY methods. This change creates a separate EVP API for MACs, to replace the current EVP_PKEY ones. A note about this EVP API and how it interfaces with underlying MAC implementations: Other EVP APIs pass the EVP API context down to implementations, and it can be observed that the implementations use the pointer to their own private data almost exclusively. The EVP_MAC API deviates from that pattern by passing the pointer to the implementation's private data directly, and thereby deny the implementations access to the EVP_MAC context structure. This change is made to provide a clearer separation between the EVP library itself and the implementations of its supported algorithm classes.
