наб b6eb95fa44 Reference the non-"legacy" provider names directly from EVP_md5(3) &c.
Earlier today, it took me five manuals! to find what on earth the
"Performance"/"EVP_MD_fetch(3)" crosslinks actually mean:
  EVP_sha1(3)
  crypto(7)
  EVP_MD_fetch(3) (but not there! don't read that!)
  OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)
  EVP_MD-SHA1(7)

If, instead, EVP_sha1(3) referenced EVP_MD-SHA1(7) at /all/,
which it should do, since it's supposed to be what you're replacing it
with, but it doesn't actually say that, maybe people would use it.
I know I didn't because it's basically just deadass buried

As found by git grep -l 'and should consider using'

=head1 NAME
EVP_md2
- MD2 For EVP
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_md2(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MD2 is a cryptographic hash function standardized in RFC 1319 and designed by
Ronald Rivest. This implementation is only available with the legacy provider.
=over 4
=item EVP_md2()
The MD2 algorithm which 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)> with L<EVP_MD-MD2(7)> 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
IETF RFC 1319.

L<evp(7)>,
L<provider(7)>,
