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.

- EVP Blowfish cipher
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cbc(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb64(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ecb(void);
const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ofb(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Blowfish encryption algorithm for EVP.
This is a variable key length cipher.
=over 4
=item EVP_bf_cbc(),
EVP_bf_cfb(),
EVP_bf_cfb64(),
EVP_bf_ecb(),
EVP_bf_ofb()
Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively.

=head1 NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
