Shane Lontis b808665265 Update core_names.h fields and document most fields.
Renamed some values in core_names i.e Some DH specific names were changed to use DH instead of FFC.
Added some strings values related to RSA keys.
Moved set_params related docs out of EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl.pod into its own file.
Updated Keyexchange and signature code and docs.
Moved some common DSA/DH docs into a shared EVP_PKEY-FFC.pod.
Moved Ed25519.pod into EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519.pod and reworked it.

Added some usage examples. As a result of the usage examples the following change was also made:
ec allows OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH as a settable gen parameter.

- EVP_PKEY X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 keytype and algorithm support
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<X25519>, B<X448>, B<ED25519> and B<ED448> keytypes are
implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers. These implementations
support the associated key, containing the public key I<pub> and the
private key I<priv>.
In the FIPS provider they are non-approved algorithms and do not have the
"fips=yes" property set.
No additional parameters can be set during key generation.
=head2 Common X25519, X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters
In addition to the common parameters that all keytypes should support (see
L<provider-keymgmt(7)/Common parameters>), the implementation of these keytypes
support the following.
=over 4
=item "pub" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY>) <octet string>
The public key value.
=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <octet string>
The private key value.
=back
=head2 ED25519 and ED448 parameters
=over 4
=item "mandatory-digest" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_MANDATORY_DIGEST>) <utf8 string>
The empty string, signifying that no digest may be specified.

=head1 EXAMPLES
An B<EVP_PKEY> context can be obtained by calling:
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "X25519", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "X448", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "ED25519", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "ED448", NULL);
An B<ED25519> key can be generated like this:
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "ED25519", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
EVP_PKEY_gen(pctx, &pkey);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
An B<X25519> key can be generated in a similar way:
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx =
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "X25519", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
EVP_PKEY_gen(pctx, &pkey);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
