EVP_PKEY_get_bits() returns the cryptographic length of the cryptosystem

of cryptographic length is specific to the key cryptosystem.
This length corresponds to the provider parameter B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS>.
EVP_PKEY_get_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given
I<pkey>, bits of security is defined in NIST SP800-57.
