9b86974e0c Fix L<> content in manpages
L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal  If the xref is the same as the title,
which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>.  This fixes all
1457 occurrences in 349 files.  Approximately.  (And pod used to
need both.)

f7812493a0 Update the SHA* documentation
Updates to include SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512. In particular note
the restriction on setting md to NULL with regards to thread safety.

c7497f34fb RT1665,2300: Crypto doc cleanups
RT1665: aes documentation.

Paul Green wrote a nice aes.pod file.
But we now encourage the EVP interface.
So I took his RT item and used it as impetus to add
the AES modes to EVP_EncryptInit.pod
I also noticed that rc4.pod has spurious references to some other
cipher pages, so I removed them.

RT2300: Clean up MD history (merged into RT1665)

Put HISTORY section only in EVP_DigestInit.pod. Also add words
to discourage use of older cipher-specific API, and remove SEE ALSO
links that point to them.

Make sure digest pages have a NOTE that says use EVP_DigestInit.

Review feedback:
More cleanup in EVP_EncryptInit.pod
Fixed SEE ALSO links in ripemd160.pod, sha.pod, mdc2.pod, blowfish.pod,
rc4.d, and des.pod.  Re-order sections in des.pod for consistency

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()?)
