Remove algo factory, engines, global RNG, global state, etc.
Convert all uses of Algorithm_Factory and the engines to using Algo_Registry The shared pool of entropy sources remains but is moved to EntropySource. With that and few remaining initializations (default OIDs and aliases) moved elsewhere, the global state is empty and init and shutdown are no-ops. Remove almost all of the headers and code for handling the global state, except LibraryInitializer which remains as a compatability stub. Update seeding for blinding so only one hacky almost-global RNG instance needs to be setup instead of across all pubkey uses (it uses either the system RNG or an AutoSeeded_RNG if the system RNG is not available).

Previously the allocator would consume all available mlocked memory,
this allows botan to coexist with an application which wants to
mlock memory of its own.

-* The library can now only be initialized once. If the library is
- already initialized and a LibraryInitializer is created, it has no
- effect. If the first library initializer leaves scope then a new
- initializer can be created.

- LibraryInitializer can now only be used in an RAII fashion; the
