Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 0f6c3ebbf8 doc: Add a hint to man3/EVP_$hash that it is legacy
Some hash algorithms are only provided by the legacy provider. This
information is not mentioned in EVP_md4(3) for md4 and one might wonder
why it is no longer working.

Add a note to the EVP_ man page for md2, md4, mdc2, ripemd160 and
whirlpool that it is only available with the legacy provider.

Fixes #11650

#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_whirlpool(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004
designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. This implementation is
only available with the legacy provider.

input.

These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
