Reverse the algorithm priority ordering
Previously 0 was the highest priority and 255 was the lowest. But this is really quite confusing, instead treat 0 as lowest and 255 as highest so normal integer intuitions apply.

* An ECDSA provider using OpenSSL has been added.
+* The ordering of algorithm priorities has been reversed. Previously
+ 255 was the lowest priority and 0 was the highest priority. Now it
+ is the reverse, with 0 being lowest priority and 255 being highest.
+ The default priority for the base algorithms is 100. This only
+ affects external providers or applications which directly set
+ provider preferences.

* On OS X, rename libs to avoid trailing version numbers, e.g.
