Update the documentation to remove referenceds to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD

Now that EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHODs have been removed from the public API we
need to update the documentation accordingly. They still exist internally
and so some references are still appropriate in the internal documetnation.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> is a structure which holds a set of ASN.1
conversion, printing and information methods for a specific public key
algorithm.
There are two places where the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> objects are
stored: one is a built-in array representing the standard methods for
different algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined
application-specific methods, which can be manipulated by using
L<EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0(3)>.
=head2 Methods
The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public
key algorithm present by the B<EVP_PKEY> object.

int (*old_priv_decode) (EVP_PKEY *pkey,
const unsigned char **pder, int derlen);
int (*old_priv_encode) (const EVP_PKEY *pkey, unsigned char **pder);
The old_priv_decode() and old_priv_encode() methods decode / encode
they private key B<pkey> from / to a DER formatted array.
These are exclusively used to help decoding / encoding older (pre
PKCS#8) PEM formatted encrypted private keys.
old_priv_decode() MUST return 0 on error, 1 on success.
old_priv_encode() MUST the return same kind of values as
i2d_PrivateKey().
They're called by L<d2i_PrivateKey(3)> and L<i2d_PrivateKey(3)>.
int (*item_verify) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const ASN1_ITEM *it, void *asn,
X509_ALGOR *a, ASN1_BIT_STRING *sig, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
int (*item_sign) (EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const ASN1_ITEM *it, void *asn,
X509_ALGOR *alg1, X509_ALGOR *alg2,
ASN1_BIT_STRING *sig);
The item_sign() and item_verify() methods make it possible to have
algorithm specific signatures and verification of them.
item_sign() MUST return one of:
=over 4
=item <=0
error
=item Z<>1
item_sign() did everything, OpenSSL internals just needs to pass the
signature length back.
=item Z<>2
item_sign() did nothing, OpenSSL internal standard routines are
expected to continue with the default signature production.
=item Z<>3
item_sign() set the algorithm identifier B<algor1> and B<algor2>,
OpenSSL internals should just sign using those algorithms.
=back
item_verify() MUST return one of:
=over 4
=item <=0
error
=item Z<>1
item_sign() did everything, OpenSSL internals just needs to pass the
signature length back.
=item Z<>2
item_sign() did nothing, OpenSSL internal standard routines are
expected to continue with the default signature production.
=back
item_verify() and item_sign() are called by L<ASN1_item_verify(3)> and
L<ASN1_item_sign(3)>, and by extension, L<X509_verify(3)>,
L<X509_REQ_verify(3)>, L<X509_sign(3)>, L<X509_REQ_sign(3)>, ...
int (*siginf_set) (X509_SIG_INFO *siginf, const X509_ALGOR *alg,
const ASN1_STRING *sig);
The siginf_set() method is used to set custom B<X509_SIG_INFO>
parameters.
It MUST return 0 on error, or 1 on success.
It's called as part of L<X509_check_purpose(3)>, L<X509_check_ca(3)>

int (*pkey_check) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
int (*pkey_public_check) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
int (*pkey_param_check) (const EVP_PKEY *pk);
The pkey_check(), pkey_public_check() and pkey_param_check() methods are used
to check the validity of B<pk> for key-pair, public component and parameters,
respectively.
They MUST return 0 for an invalid key, or 1 for a valid key.
They are called by L<EVP_PKEY_check(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_public_check(3)> and

L<EVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key(3)> respectively.

dirty_cnt() returns the internal key's dirty count.
This can be used to synchronise different copies of the same keys.
The export_to() method exports the key material from the given key to
a provider, through the L<EVP_KEYMGMT(3)> interface, if that provider
supports importing key material.
=head2 Functions
EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() creates and returns a new B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD>
object, and associates the given B<id>, B<flags>, B<pem_str> and
B<info>.
B<id> is a NID, B<pem_str> is the PEM type string, B<info> is a
descriptive string.
The following B<flags> are supported:
ASN1_PKEY_SIGPARAM_NULL
If B<ASN1_PKEY_SIGPARAM_NULL> is set, then the signature algorithm
parameters are given the type B<V_ASN1_NULL> by default, otherwise
they will be given the type B<V_ASN1_UNDEF> (i.e. the parameter is
omitted).
See L<X509_ALGOR_set0(3)> for more information.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_copy() copies an B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> object from
B<src> to B<dst>.
This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
when initializing the application.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_free() frees an existing B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> pointed
by B<ameth>. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0() adds B<ameth> to the user defined stack of
methods unless another B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with the same NID is
already there.
This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
when initializing the application.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_add_alias() creates an alias with the NID B<to> for the
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with NID B<from> unless another
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with the same NID is already added.
This function is not thread safe, it's recommended to only use this
when initializing the application.

EVP_PKEY_get0_asn1() returns NULL on error, or a pointer to a constant

=head1 HISTORY
The signature of the I<pub_decode> functional argument of
EVP_PKEY_asn1_set_public() has changed in OpenSSL 3.0 so its I<pub>
parameter is now constified.
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.6.

=head1 SYNOPSIS
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.6, and can be

see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>; use the provider API instead.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns a count of the number of public key
ASN.1 methods available: it includes standard methods and any methods
added by the application.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() returns the public key ASN.1 method B<idx>.
The value of B<idx> must be between zero and EVP_PKEY_asn1_get_count()
- 1.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with NID
B<type>.
If B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then NULL will be placed at the given address, as
ENGINEs were removed, therefore none can be found.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with PEM
type string B<str>.
Just like EVP_PKEY_asn1_find(), if B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then NULL will be placed
at the given address, as ENGINEs were removed, therefore none can be found.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns the public key ID, base public key
ID (both NIDs), any flags, the method description and PEM type string
associated with the public key ASN.1 method B<*ameth>.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_count(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() and
EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() are not thread safe, but as long as all
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> objects are added before the application gets
threaded, using them is safe. See L<EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns the number of available public key methods.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() return a public key method or B<NULL> if B<idx> is
out of range.
EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns 0 on failure, 1 on success.
