erbsland-dev b544047c99 Add documentation for deprecated CMAC_CTX functions
Fixes #5539: Create a new manual page `CMAC_CTX.pod` documenting the deprecated `CMAC_CTX` functions and add the necessary build dependencies. This page includes function descriptions, usage details, and replacement suggestions with the `EVP_MAC` interface.

=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/cmac.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
disabled entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version
value, see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>.
typedef struct CMAC_CTX_st CMAC_CTX;
CMAC_CTX *CMAC_CTX_new(void);
void CMAC_CTX_cleanup(CMAC_CTX *ctx);
void CMAC_CTX_free(CMAC_CTX *ctx);
EVP_CIPHER_CTX *CMAC_CTX_get0_cipher_ctx(CMAC_CTX *ctx);
int CMAC_CTX_copy(CMAC_CTX *out, const CMAC_CTX *in);
int CMAC_Init(CMAC_CTX *ctx, const void *key, size_t keylen,
const EVP_CIPHER *cipher, ENGINE *impl);
int CMAC_Update(CMAC_CTX *ctx, const void *data, size_t dlen);
int CMAC_Final(CMAC_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out, size_t *poutlen);
int CMAC_resume(CMAC_CTX *ctx);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The low-level MAC functions documented on this page are deprecated.
Applications should use the new L<EVP_MAC(3)> interface.
Specifically, utilize the following functions for MAC operations:
=over 4
=item L<EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3)> to create a new MAC context.
=item L<EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3)> to free the MAC context.
=item L<EVP_MAC_init(3)> to initialize the MAC context.
=item L<EVP_MAC_update(3)> to update the MAC with data.
=item L<EVP_MAC_final(3)> to finalize the MAC and retrieve the output.
=back
Alternatively, for a single-step MAC computation, use the L<EVP_Q_mac(3)>
function.
The B<CMAC_CTX> type is a structure used for the provision of CMAC
(Cipher-based Message Authentication Code) operations.
CMAC_CTX_new() creates a new B<CMAC_CTX> structure and returns a pointer to it.
CMAC_CTX_cleanup() resets the B<CMAC_CTX> structure, clearing any internal data
but not freeing the structure itself.
CMAC_CTX_free() frees the B<CMAC_CTX> structure and any associated resources.
If the argument is NULL, no action is taken.
CMAC_CTX_get0_cipher_ctx() returns a pointer to the internal B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>
structure within the B<CMAC_CTX>.
CMAC_CTX_copy() copies the state from one B<CMAC_CTX> structure to another.
CMAC_Init() initializes the B<CMAC_CTX> structure for a new CMAC calculation
with the specified key, key length, and cipher type.
Optionally, an B<ENGINE> can be provided.
CMAC_Update() processes data to be included in the CMAC calculation.
This function can be called multiple times to update the context with
additional data.
CMAC_Final() finalizes the CMAC calculation and retrieves the resulting
MAC value. The output is stored in the provided buffer, and the length is
stored in the variable pointed to by I<poutlen>. To determine the required
buffer size, call with I<out> set to NULL, which stores only the length in
I<poutlen>. Allocate a buffer of this size and call CMAC_Final() again with
the allocated buffer to retrieve the MAC.
CMAC_resume() resumes a previously finalized CMAC calculation, allowing
additional data to be processed and a new MAC to be generated.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
CMAC_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a new B<CMAC_CTX> structure or NULL if
an error occurs.
CMAC_CTX_get0_cipher_ctx() returns a pointer to the internal
B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure, or NULL if an error occurs.
CMAC_CTX_copy(), CMAC_Init(), CMAC_Update(), CMAC_Final() and CMAC_resume()
return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs.
=head1 HISTORY
All functions described here were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. For replacements,
see L<EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3)>, L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>,
L<EVP_MAC_update(3)>, and L<EVP_MAC_final(3)>.
