Richard Levitte a8ca496ddb Split the scrypt and RSA-PSS into man3 and man7 pages
The scrypt and RSA-PSS documents were a mixture of section 3 and
section 7 material.  With pre-1.1.1 OpenSSL, this is understandable,
since we had a different directory layout.  With 1.1.1, we've moved to
the typical man-page directory layout, and the documents need to be
updated accordingly.

Also, the scrypt document contained a description of
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass(), which is a generic function rather than
an scrypt specific function, and therefore should be documented
separately.

Fixes #5802

=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/kdf.h>
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_scrypt_salt(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *salt,
int saltlen);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_N(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, uint64_t N);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_r(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, uint64_t r);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_p(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, uint64_t p);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_maxmem_bytes(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
uint64_t maxmem);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to set up the necessary data to use the
scrypt KDF.
For more information on scrypt, see L<scrypt(7)>.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_scrypt_salt() sets the B<saltlen> bytes long salt
value.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_N(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_r() and
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_p() configure the work factors N, r and p.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_scrypt_maxmem_bytes() sets how much RAM key
derivation may maximally use, given in bytes.
If RAM is exceeded because the load factors are chosen too high, the
key derivation will fail.
=head1 STRING CTRLS
scrypt also supports string based control operations via
L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str(3)>.
Similarly, the B<salt> can either be specified using the B<type>
parameter "salt" or in hex encoding by using the "hexsalt" parameter.
The work factors B<N>, B<r> and B<p> as well as B<maxmem_bytes> can be
set by using the parameters "N", "r", "p" and "maxmem_bytes",
respectively.
=head1 NOTES
The scrypt KDF also uses EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass() as well as
the value from the string controls "pass" and "hexpass".
See L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass(3)>.
All the functions described here are implemented as macros.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for
failure.
In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not
supported by the public key algorithm.
