The types OSSL_DISPATCH, OSSL_ITEM, OSSL_ALGORITHM, OSSL_PARAM,
OSSL_CALLBACK, and OSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK are described in their own
manual page, so we change every mention of them to links to those pages.

The new naming scheme consistently usese the `OSSL_FUNC_` prefix for all
functions which are dispatched between the core and providers.
This change includes in particular all up- and downcalls, i.e., the
dispatched functions passed from core to provider and vice versa.
- OSSL_core_ -> OSSL_FUNC_core_
- OSSL_provider_ -> OSSL_FUNC_core_
For operations and their function dispatch tables, the following convention
is used:
Type | Name (evp_generic_fetch(3)) |
---------------------|-----------------------------------|
operation | OSSL_OP_FOO |
function id | OSSL_FUNC_FOO_FUNCTION_NAME |
function "name" | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name |
function typedef | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name_fn |
function ptr getter | OSSL_FUNC_foo_function_name |

The provider- manuals are meant to describe the general interface for
their respective operation. This is not the place to describe
implementation specific details.
This change creates a number of doc/man7/EVP_MD manuals, one for each
algorithm or set of algorithms, as well as doc/man7/EVP_MD-common.pod
to describe what's common to them all.
While we're at it, correct the SHA3 settable context params array to
match what's actually settable.

OpenSSL uses some POD directives masquerading as 'comment'
('=for comment' etc). This is abusive and confusing. Instead, we use
our own keyword.
=for openssl whatever
=begin openssl
whatever
=end openssl
(we have never used the multiline form, but might start one day)

It's all in the details, from man-pages(7):
Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions
...
Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.
...
Formatting conventions (general)
...
Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold.
Exception: don't boldface NULL.

Recently, we added dispatched functions to get parameter descriptions,
and those for operation context parameters ended up being called
something_gettable_ctx_params and something_settable_ctx_params.
The corresponding dispatched functions to actually perform parameter
transfers were previously called something_ctx_get_params and
something_ctx_set_params, which doesn't quite match, so we rename them
to something_get_ctx_params and something_set_ctx_params.
An argument in favor of this name change is English, where you'd
rather say something like "set the context parameters".
This only change the libcrypto <-> provider interface.
