491f3e4e8e Make OPENSSL_config truly ignore errors.
Per discussion: should not exit. Should not print to stderr.
Errors are ignored.  Updated doc to reflect that, and the fact
that this function is to be avoided.

37580f43b5 Only allow ephemeral RSA keys in export ciphersuites.
OpenSSL clients would tolerate temporary RSA keys in non-export
ciphersuites. It also had an option SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA which
enabled this server side. Remove both options as they are a
protocol violation.

Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan for reporting this issue.

02e8d46119 Clarified that the signature's buffer size, s, is not used as an
IN parameter.

Under the old docs, the only thing stated was "at most
EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes will be written". It was kind of misleading
since it appears EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) WILL be written regardless of the
signature's buffer size.
