Checking if a key can sign / verify in 3.0

[Norm Green]

No comments on my question? Should there not be a way to know if an 
EVP_PKEY is valid for verification besides attempting the verify 
operation and getting a weird error code?  Doesn't seem like too much to 
expect since we already have EVP_PKEY_can_sign().
I'm happy to implement EVP_PKEY_can_verify() with some assurance such a 
PR would be accepted.
