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.

=head1 NAME
RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING, RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING - RSA signatures
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.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)>:
int RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING(int dummy, unsigned char *m,
unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigret,
unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa);
int RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING(int dummy, unsigned char *m,
unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigbuf,
unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use EVP PKEY APIs.
RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() signs the octet string B<m> of size
B<m_len> using the private key B<rsa> represented in DER using PKCS #1
padding. It stores the signature in B<sigret> and the signature size
in B<siglen>. B<sigret> must point to B<RSA_size(rsa)> bytes of
memory.
B<dummy> is ignored.
The random number generator must be seeded when calling
RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING().
If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to
external circumstances (see L<RAND(7)>), the operation will fail.
RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf>
of size B<siglen> is the DER representation of a given octet string
B<m> of size B<m_len>. B<dummy> is ignored. B<rsa> is the signer's
public key.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() returns 1 on successful verification, 0
otherwise.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 BUGS
These functions serve no recognizable purpose.
=head1 SEE ALSO

L<RSA_verify(3)>,

=head1 HISTORY
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
