Huge documentation update for libcrypto and libssl, mostly from Matt Caswell,

Jeff Trawick, Jean-Paul Calderone, Michal Bozon, Jeffrey Walton and Rich Salz,
via OpenSSL trunk (with some parts not applying to us, such as SSLv2 support,
at least partially removed).

 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-DH_generate_parameters() generates Diffie-Hellman parameters that can
-be shared among a group of users, and returns them in a newly
-allocated B<DH> structure.
+DH_generate_parameters_ex() generates Diffie-Hellman parameters that can
+be shared among a group of users, and stores them in the provided B<DH>
+structure.
 
 B<prime_len> is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated.
 B<generator> is a small number E<gt> 1, typically 2 or 5.
 
-A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress of the
-key generation. If B<callback> is not B<NULL>, it will be called as described
-in L<BN_generate_prime(3)|BN_generate_prime(3)> while a random prime number is
-generated, and when a prime has been found, B<callback(3, 0, cb_arg)> is
-called.

-DH_generate_parameters() returns a pointer to the DH structure, or

+DH_generate_parameters_ex() and DH_check() return 1 if the check could be
