Dimitri John Ledkov 6f08353a4b doc: EVP_KDF document the semantic meaning of output
Explicitely document what semantic meaning do various EVP_KDF
algorithms produce.

PBKDF2 produces cryptographic keys that are subject to cryptographic
security measures, for example as defined in NIST SP 800-132.

All other algorithms produce keying material, not subject to explicit
output length checks in any known standards.
