Matt Caswell 3dbf824380 Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docs
There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the
deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to
the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied
to the following function declarations.

https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html

We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the
following functions.

SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids,

- Functions to create a record of SRP user verifier information
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/srp.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
SRP_user_pwd *SRP_user_pwd_new(void);
void SRP_user_pwd_free(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd);
int SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const char *id, const char *info);
void SRP_user_pwd_set_gN(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, const BIGNUM *g, const BIGNUM *N);
int SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv(SRP_user_pwd *user_pwd, BIGNUM *s, BIGNUM *v);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. There are no
available replacement functions at this time.
The SRP_user_pwd_new() function allocates a structure to store a user verifier
record.
The SRP_user_pwd_free() function frees up the B<user_pwd> structure.
If B<user_pwd> is NULL, nothing is done.
The SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() function sets the username to B<id> and the optional
user info to B<info> for B<user_pwd>.
The library allocates new copies of B<id> and B<info>, the caller still
owns the original memory.
The SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() function sets the user salt to B<s> and the verifier
to B<v> for B<user_pwd>.
The library takes ownership of the values, they should not be freed by the caller.
The SRP_user_pwd_set_gN() function sets the SRP group parameters for B<user_pwd>.
The memory is not freed by SRP_user_pwd_free(), the caller must make sure it is
freed once it is no longer used.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure or if B<id> was NULL.
SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv() returns 1 if both B<s> and B<v> are not NULL, 0 otherwise.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<openssl-srp(1)>,
L<SRP_create_verifier(3)>,
L<SRP_VBASE_new(3)>,
L<SSL_CTX_set_srp_password(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
These functions were made public in OpenSSL 3.0 and are deprecated.
