       Algorithm parameters can be exported/imported from/to providers using arrays of OSSL_PARAM(3). The
       following utility functions allow the parameters to be duplicated and merged with other OSSL_PARAM(3) to
       assist in this process.

       OSSL_PARAM_dup() duplicates the parameter array params. This function does a deep copy of the data.

       OSSL_PARAM_merge() merges the parameter arrays params and params1 into a new parameter array. If params
       and params1 contain values with the same 'key' then the value from params1 will replace the param value.
       This function does a shallow copy of the parameters. Either params or params1 may be NULL. The behaviour
       of the merge is unpredictable if params and params1 contain the same key, and there are multiple entries
       within either array that have the same key.

       OSSL_PARAM_free() frees the parameter array params that was created using OSSL_PARAM_dup(),
       OSSL_PARAM_merge() or OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param().  If the argument to OSSL_PARAM_free() is NULL, nothing
       is done.

       The functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.

       OSSL_PARAM_dup, OSSL_PARAM_merge, OSSL_PARAM_free - OSSL_PARAM array copy functions

       The functions OSSL_PARAM_dup() and OSSL_PARAM_merge() return a newly allocated OSSL_PARAM(3) array, or
       NULL if there was an error. If both parameters are NULL
        then NULL is returned.
