PR#3071

The primary changes made are:
- Updates to the "NAME" section of many pages to correctly reflect the
functions defined on those pages. This section is automatically parsed
by the util/extract-names.pl script, so if it is not correct then
running "man" will not correctly locate the right manual pages.
- Updates to take account of where functions are now deprecated
- Full documentation of the ec sub-library
- A number of other typo corrections and other minor tweaks

6859cf7459 It makes more sense to refer to specific function manuals than the concept
manual when the specific function is refered to in the current manual text.
This correction was originally introduced in OpenBSD's tracking of OpenSSL.

35ed8cb8b6 Integrate my implementation of a countermeasure against
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.  With this implementation, the expected
number of iterations never exceeds 2.

New semantics for BN_rand_range():
BN_rand_range(r, min, range) now generates r such that
     min <= r < min+range.
(Previously, BN_rand_range(r, min, max) generated r such that
     min <= r < max.
It is more convenient to have the range; also the previous
prototype was misleading because max was larger than
the actual maximum.)

38e33cef15 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()?)
