Description of changes:

The actual ML-DSA instance configured under an EVP PKEY is two levels deep. And it's configured in an object whose definition is internal. There currently exist no accessor that consumers can use to access that. From the top-level the only information one can retrieve as a generic EVP_PKEY_PQDSA identifier.

This PR adds a function to get the more granular identifier. This information could be derived through e.g. the key size. But that's not a terribly good user experience.

I considered adding a getter for PQDSA_KEY that has a reference to the PQDSA object that configures the named identifier we are after. But none of those are referenced counted, so the implementation would look different from what the current pattern is for other PKEY key types (or one would need to implemented reference counting in the objects (no thanks)).

The concept "PQ DSA" is not a well-defined functional interface. But the abstraction has already escaped and no longer an internal implementation detail. So, I'm not sure we can revert back to a top-level EVP_PKEY_foo type anymore (e.g. similar to the 25519 pattern).

FWIW, same problem exist for the KEM key type. At least I don't immediately see a method to get the configured instance.

Testing:

Simple test to check the correct NID is returned.
