Description
Hi all
I think it will be really useful to have a method for duplicating library context.
For example you create a base library context, then duplicate it and load additional provider in the duplicated one. Somehow similar to how OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_child works, for non-provider developers. This one cannot be used directly at least because of its arguments.
Best Regards

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_child behavior and its arguments. Determine the public API needed to duplicate a base library context for non-provider developers and load an additional provider in the duplicate. Done means the proposed method's scope, arguments, and provider-loading behavior are defined and covered by appropriate tests.
