Description
Would be nice to support the generation of the new to-be-certified key pair via OpenSSL providers.
Otherwise, if one has been specified and the -newkeytype option is given, better warn that the option does not work with the provider.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CLI handling for -newkeytype and the existing OpenSSL provider setup. Determine whether provider-backed key generation is feasible; otherwise, done means warning clearly when -newkeytype is used with a provider, with coverage for the selected behavior.
