Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)

More doc cleanup Add missing entries to NAME section Add SYNOPSIS lines, remove old NAME entries Update find-doc-nits; better regexp's for parsing SYNOPSIS sections. Rename a couple of files to have an API name. Remove RSA_private_decrypt; it was duplicate content Update for recent doc additions Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org>

DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - allocate and free DSA signature objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);
Make DSA_SIG opaque. This adds a new accessor function DSA_SIG_get0. The customisation of DSA_SIG structure initialisation has been removed this means that the 'r' and 's' components are automatically allocated when DSA_SIG_new() is called. Update documentation.

void DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);
Make DSA_SIG and ECDSA_SIG getters const. Reorder arguments to follow convention. Also allow r/s to be NULL in DSA_SIG_get0, similarly to ECDSA_SIG_get0. This complements GH1193 which adds non-const setters. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>

Implement DSA_SIG_set0() and ECDSA_SIG_set0(), for setting signature values. SSH2 implementations which use DSA_do_verify() and ECDSA_do_verify() are given the R and S values, and the data to be signed, by the client. Thus in order to validate these signatures, SSH2 implementations will digest and sign the data -- and then pass in properly provisioned DSA_SIG and ECDSA_SIG objects. Unfortunately, the existing OpenSSL-1.1.0 APIs do not allow for directly setting those R and S values in these objects, which makes using OpenSSL for such SSH2 implementations much more difficult.

The B<r> and B<s> values can be set by calling DSA_SIG_set0() and passing the
new values for B<r> and B<s> as parameters to the function. Calling this
function transfers the memory management of the values to the DSA_SIG object,
and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
after this function has been called.
