Matt Caswell 3dbf824380 Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docs
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 following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
#include <openssl/dh.h>
DH *DH_get_1024_160(void);
DH *DH_get_2048_224(void);
DH *DH_get_2048_256(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DH_get_1024_160(), DH_get_2048_224(), and DH_get_2048_256() each return
a DH object for the IETF RFC 5114 value. These functions are deprecated.
Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_rfc5114() and
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dhx_rfc5114() as described in L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl(3)> or
by setting the B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME> as specified in
L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/DH parameters>) to one of "dh_1024_160", "dh_2048_224" or
"dh_2048_256".
BN_get0_nist_prime_192(), BN_get0_nist_prime_224(), BN_get0_nist_prime_256(),
BN_get0_nist_prime_384(), and BN_get0_nist_prime_521() functions return
a BIGNUM for the specific NIST prime curve (e.g., P-256).
BN_get_rfc2409_prime_768(), BN_get_rfc2409_prime_1024(),
BN_get_rfc3526_prime_1536(), BN_get_rfc3526_prime_2048(),
BN_get_rfc3526_prime_3072(), BN_get_rfc3526_prime_4096(),
BN_get_rfc3526_prime_6144(), and BN_get_rfc3526_prime_8192() functions
return a BIGNUM for the specified size from IETF RFC 2409. If B<bn>
is not NULL, the BIGNUM will be set into that location as well.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
Defined above.
=head1 HISTORY
The functions DH_get_1024_160(), DH_get_2048_224() and DH_get_2048_256() were
deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
