We change the description to be about the key rather than the
signature. How the key size is related to the signature is explained
in the description of EVP_SignFinal() anyway.

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.

The EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() function was merged into EVP_MD_CTX_reset()
which is called by EVP_MD_CTX_free(). Adjust the documentation to say
that the latter should be used to avoid leaking memory.

The comment in EVP_DigestInit.pod is:
> Returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated with this
digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will return
B<NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption>. Since digests and signature algorithms are no
longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility reasons.
I.e. there is no link anymore.
