Backward compatibility: the key store with drivers

Promise that we will try to keep backward compatibility with basic driver
usage, but not with more experimental aspects.

LTS, but future major version upgrades (for example from 2.28.x/3.x to 4.y)
may require the use of an upgrade tool.
Note that this guarantee does not currently fully extend to drivers, which
are an experimental feature. We intend to maintain compatibility with the
basic use of drivers from Mbed TLS 2.28.0 onwards, even if driver APIs
change. However, for more experimental parts of the driver interface, such
as the use of driver state, we do not yet guarantee backward compatibility.
## Long-time support branches
For the LTS branches, additionally we try very hard to also maintain ABI
