There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the
deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to
the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied
to the following function declarations.
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html
We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the
following functions.

The RAND_DRBG API did not fit well into the new provider concept as
implemented by EVP_RAND and EVP_RAND_CTX. The main reason is that the
RAND_DRBG API is a mixture of 'front end' and 'back end' API calls
and some of its API calls are rather low-level. This holds in particular
for the callback mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()) and the RAND_DRBG
type changing mechanism (RAND_DRBG_set()).
Adding a compatibility layer to continue supporting the RAND_DRBG API as
a legacy API for a regular deprecation period turned out to come at the
price of complicating the new provider API unnecessarily. Since the
RAND_DRBG API exists only since version 1.1.1, it was decided by the OMC
to drop it entirely.
Other related changes:
Use RNG instead of DRBG in EVP_RAND documentation. The documentation was
using DRBG in places where it should have been RNG or CSRNG.
Move the RAND_DRBG(7) documentation to EVP_RAND(7).

The generated macros are TYPE_get_ex_new_index() (to match
CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index()), not TYPE_get_new_ex_index(), even though
the latter spelling seems more natural.

Documenting the macros removes 14 undocumented items.
Merged three separate manpages into one.
Rename the DRBG CRYPTO_EX define into RAND_DRBG, but keep the old one
for API compatibility.

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)

I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few
cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces.
A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but
these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later.
I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to
provide some visual space.
