Compute SM2 signature and verify it by invoking EVP interface in OpenSSL 1.1.1

        The SM2 algorithm is defined in the Chinese national standard GB/T 32918. SM2 is supported in OpenSSL 1.1.1. A rough introduction on SM2 operation is given at the link: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man7/SM2.html . But it is not sufficient for learners to grasp it. A more detailed demo program is provided here:
