[ruby/openssl] digest: use EVP_MD_fetch() if available

With the introduction of OpenSSL 3 providers, newly implemented
algorithms do not necessarily have a corresponding NID assigned. To use
such an algorithm, it has to be "fetched" from providers using the new
EVP_*_fetch() functions.

For digest algorithms, we have to use EVP_MD_fetch() instead of the
existing EVP_get_digestbyname(). However, it is not a drop-in
replacement because:

 - EVP_MD_fetch() does not support all algorithm name aliases recognized
   by EVP_get_digestbyname().

 - Both return an EVP_MD, but the one returned by EVP_MD_fetch() is
   sometimes reference counted and the user has to explicitly release
   it with EVP_MD_free().

So, keep using EVP_get_digestbyname() for all OpenSSL versions for now,
and fall back to EVP_MD_fetch() if it fails. In the latter case, prepare
a T_DATA object to manage the fetched EVP_MD's lifetime.
