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 |

Renamed some values in core_names i.e Some DH specific names were changed to use DH instead of FFC.
Added some strings values related to RSA keys.
Moved set_params related docs out of EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl.pod into its own file.
Updated Keyexchange and signature code and docs.
Moved some common DSA/DH docs into a shared EVP_PKEY-FFC.pod.
Moved Ed25519.pod into EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519.pod and reworked it.
Added some usage examples. As a result of the usage examples the following change was also made:
ec allows OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH as a settable gen parameter.

Replace "=for openssl foreign manuals" with simpler syntax, it looks
like the "=for openssl ifdef" construct.
Fix some broken L<> links; add some missing foreign references and fixed
some typo's.
The WARNINGS in dhparam referred to non-existant commands so reword it.
Fixes#10109

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.

We add new functions for getting parameters and discovering the gettable
and settable parameters. We also make EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_signature_md() a
function and implement it in terms of the new functions.
This enables applications to discover the set of parameters that are
supported for a given algorithm implementation.
