The manual pages require for some API functions that the 'random number
generator must be seeded' before calling the function. Initially, this
was meant literally, i.e. the OpenSSL CSPRNG had to be seeded manually
before calling these functions.
Since version 1.1.1, the CSPRNG is seeded automatically on first use,
so it's not the responsibility of the programmer anymore. Still, he
needs to be aware that the seeding might fail.

Expand the text on deprecation to be more descriptive and to refer
back to openssl_user_macros(7).
Incidently, this required a small change in util/find-doc-nits, to
have it skip over any line that isn't part of a block (i.e. that
hasn't been indented with at least one space. That makes it skip over
deprecation text.

I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few
cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces.
A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but
these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later.
I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to
provide some visual space.
