Rich Salz 4692340e31 Unify d2i/i2d documentation.
Make d2i_X509 a generic d2i/i2d manpage.
Pull common stuff out of other d2i/i2d docs.
Update find-doc-nits to know about "generic" manpages.
Cleanup some overlap.
Fix up a bunch of other references.

=head1 NAME
d2i_X509_AUX, i2d_X509_AUX,
i2d_re_X509_tbs, i2d_re_X509_CRL_tbs, i2d_re_X509_REQ_tbs
- X509 encode and decode functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
X509 *d2i_X509_AUX(X509 **px, const unsigned char **in, long len);
int i2d_X509_AUX(X509 *x, unsigned char **out);
int i2d_re_X509_tbs(X509 *x, unsigned char **out);
int i2d_re_X509_CRL_tbs(X509_CRL *crl, unsigned char **pp);
int i2d_re_X509_REQ_tbs(X509_REQ *req, unsigned char **pp);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The X509 encode and decode routines encode and parse an
B<X509> structure, which represents an X509 certificate.
d2i_X509_AUX() is similar to L<d2i_X509(3)> but the input is expected to
consist of an X509 certificate followed by auxiliary trust information.
This is used by the PEM routines to read "TRUSTED CERTIFICATE" objects.
This function should not be called on untrusted input.
i2d_X509_AUX() is similar to L<i2d_X509(3)>, but the encoded output
contains both the certificate and any auxiliary trust information.
This is used by the PEM routines to write "TRUSTED CERTIFICATE" objects.
Note that this is a non-standard OpenSSL-specific data format.
i2d_re_X509_tbs() is similar to L<i2d_X509(3)> except it encodes only
the TBSCertificate portion of the certificate. i2d_re_X509_CRL_tbs()
and i2d_re_X509_REQ_tbs() are analogous for CRL and certificate request,
respectively. The "re" in B<i2d_re_X509_tbs> stands for "re-encode",
and ensures that a fresh encoding is generated in case the object has been
modified after creation (see the BUGS section).
The encoding of the TBSCertificate portion of a certificate is cached
in the B<X509> structure internally to improve encoding performance
and to ensure certificate signatures are verified correctly in some
certificates with broken (non-DER) encodings.
If, after modification, the B<X509> object is re-signed with X509_sign(),
the encoding is automatically renewed. Otherwise, the encoding of the
TBSCertificate portion of the B<X509> can be manually renewed by calling
i2d_re_X509_tbs().
