slontis e798248c84 Add provider pre-fetching documentation
Clearly document that implicit fetching is slower when using providers,
and explain prefetching. Added to crypto.pod and migration_guide.pod
links to it.

Add a link to EVP_default_properties_enable_fips() in crypto.pod.

=head1 NAME
EVP_mdc2
- MDC-2 For EVP
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_mdc2(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MDC-2 (Modification Detection Code 2 or Meyer-Schilling) is a cryptographic
hash function based on a block cipher. This implementation is only available
with the legacy provider.
=over 4
=item EVP_mdc2()
The MDC-2DES algorithm of using MDC-2 with the DES block cipher. It produces a
128-bit output from a given input.
=back
=head1 NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
=head1 CONFORMING TO
ISO/IEC 10118-2:2000 Hash-Function 2, with DES as the underlying block cipher.
