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

ee84a5a7fb Change the DES documentation to reflect the current status. Note that
some password reading functions are really part of the UI
compatibility library...

ce15d5a9dc Remove DES_random_seed() but retain des_random_seed() for now. Change
the docs to reflect this change and correct libeay.num.

c2e4f17c1a Due to an increasing number of clashes between modern OpenSSL and
libdes (which is still used out there) or other des implementations,
the OpenSSL DES functions are renamed to begin with DES_ instead of
des_.  Compatibility routines are provided and declared by including
openssl/des_old.h.  Those declarations are the same as were in des.h
when the OpenSSL project started, which is exactly how libdes looked
at that time, and hopefully still looks today.

The compatibility functions will be removed in some future release, at
the latest in version 1.0.

395df2fe30 libdes manpage.
This may still contain a few errors from the old documentation,
but most of it should make sense.
