When some function receives an OSSL_PARAM array to pilfer for data,
and there is a string of some sort, and all the code needs is to get
the pointer to the data, rather than a copy, there is currently no
other way than to use |param->data| directly. This is of course a
valid method, but lacks any safety check (is |param->data_type|
correct, for example?).
OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string_ptr() and OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string_ptr()
helps the programmer with such things, by setting the argument pointer
to |param->data|.
Additionally, the handle the data types OSSL_PARAM_UTF8_PTR and
OSSL_PARAM_OCTET_PTR as well.
